sabaijai Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Many years ago an American company hired me to research the culinary uses of pham in Thailand. I spent a week or so exploring the markets of Chiang Mai and asking people how they generally cooked the stuff. The most common way (back then anyway) was to stir-fry it with garlic, black pepper and dried red chilli flakes/powder. The company hoped to market pham alongside spirulina. I was told that Thai pham was similar but more nutritious than spirulina. It's similar to some varieties of duckweed in N America. recipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I have never seen this stuff in any Thai fresh market or restaurant. Looks extremely healthy, so long as it is not heated. Does anyone know where to buy? Or eateries where it is served? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Fresh markets in Chiang Mai sell it, eg, Talat Thanin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Bachelor's in Culinary Arts and am looking for work in something along these lines Thanks FD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
