Jayman Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 There is a dish with chicken that is wrapped in some kind of leaf. I really like it. I can never remember the name, but I know it when I see it. That might taste good in a sandwich (after removing it from the leaves). pandan leaves? , "Gai Haw Bai Toey" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soboringtochooseaname Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Northern or Esan sausages with Somtam in bread is the best sandwich... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dap Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've done leftover beef panang sandwiches before that are quite tasty. The satay idea is a good one. Another thing that is nice is to use the sandwich machines to heat up the leftovers and seal the bread into pockets. Yum! I'll have to try the beef panang. Sounds good! You know, I think I'm gonna toast a few pieces of bread before we make our next trip to the nearby Isaan restaurant! Then I'm gonna slap some larb moo between 2 slices. Think I'll get some funny looks?? Of course you're gonna' get funny looks, but they will never understand the value of the grand sandwich!! I tip my hat to you mate. Sandwiches rule. And of course with an ice cold beer can't be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 How about KFC´s gai yam, i think it has the right ingridients for a spicy chicken sandwich? That dish from KFC is one of 2 things I will eat at KFC. I love it. Just FYI, that is based off of an Issarn dish called NamTok. I mentioned above that NamTok (any meat) makes a GREAT sandwich filling for sure. Ohh how I love my Namtok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobo Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Moo ka tiem on a nice baguette is great. But my favorite Asian-inspired sandwich is cold, leftover katsudon (just the pork, not the entire dashi-egg-onion soup mixture) on a baguette with tonkatsu sauce and Miracle Whip. Mucho aroi!

Pseudolus Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I can't think of anything in the world that is not made better either by being between two slices of good bread, or by having a fried egg on top of it. If the egg doesn't work with something (like fruit Sorbet) then it will work with bread and vice versa. Even a fried egg on toast is made better with an extra egg and slice of toast. Personally I like to use Somtam in the bottom of a sub roll with cold cuts of pork neck on top. Lovely. Most curries work well in a sloppy joe kind of affair, or indeed just the meat plucked out and put between bread. Khoa pad gai, with a fried egg in a toasted pite bread with lots of chilli sauce;;;; yum. Now I like to take it a step further though and use the toasted sandwich maker. An aussie mate of mine used to mix a raw egg with Heinz spaghetti then toast it. It was horrid. However, it was an interesting idea in terms of toasting and sticking together the ingredients. All that meat on sticks, with some cheese, toasted.... winner. Somtam with grate cheese, nice. Pad Thai is better for a touch of cheese then toasted but doesn't really need it. Wow - really hungry now ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo ka tiem here too, but i put shredded carrot, green chili slivers, parsley and a dash of Maggie and mayonaise also .Those deep fried pork legs you can buy at Lotus go well with barbecue chicken chili sauce. Last a long time too ! Man im getting hungry now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - really hungry now ! yeah...a som tam sandwich with grated cheese...I knew that there had to be adherents somewhere...now, about the fried egg there are many places in the world where a mishmash is topped with a fried egg thus bestowing a respectability...in Latin America there is the 'lomo montado' which is a piece of fried meat with rice 'mounted' with a fried egg...nicely presented but many times inedible...I like chuleta de cerdo montado, a pork chop with rice and a fried egg...

Jingthing Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I have to be honest, the idea of Thai food on a sandwich is about as appealing to me as a croque monsieur on steamed rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) but...one must admit that left over stir fry reheated in a scrambled eggs mixture makes a good breakfast...same principle but substitute fresh corn tortillas rather than bread/toast... here comes my 5'11" paramour mostly naked and in the kitchen; 'what's fer breakfast, tuts? mmmm, my favorite...' 'hold on doll, I just got to pop down to the bodega to get some fresh tortillas (walkin' out the door)'...and she shouts: 'and get some salsa while yer at it, we're just about out...'

Actually, they can be OK but I think they should call them "wraps" and give Mexico some respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they can be OK but I think they should call them "wraps" and give Mexico some respect. Well even the burrito is an american (mexican american) based invention from mexican immigrants that needed to take their lunches out into the fields while working. But to my wrap is just a more Americanized term for the same thing. Much more generic like the term sandwich. It seems they got much more popular in the US with all the low carb eating.. you could order a sandwich or a wrap based on how much carbs you wanted (or just get it in salad form).

Jingthing Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, but American burritos are generally filled with Mexican-ish foodstuffs and there is a Mexican origin of a burrito. I'm just joking, don't really care what people call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 ye know, I think that burritos were invented by Taco Bell in the late 60s...then there were the 'taquerias' that sprang up afterwards in the 70s...I don't ever remember eating a burrito as a kid in a mexican restaurant in Pasadena in the 50s... but not to say that I wouldn't dig into carnitas burrito with rice and beans right now if it was set on my laptop keyboard...a 2 pounder with sour cream on the side...

Chantra Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 When I was living in Bangkok in the 90s, a popular snack was a nam prik pao sandwich. Just spread it straight from the jar. Add a couple of slices of roast chicken for a nam prik pao gai sanger. BTW, would only recommend Gaew (Glass) brand for this. The other brands are a little industrial to be eaten like this.
