What Is This Thai Vegetable?

[corkscrew]

This Thai veggie was served to us in the Chinese restaurant at the Shangri-La hotel. I have never seen it before. This is a slightly out of focus photo of the vegetable before it has been processed. When served it is in small pieces that have been covered in a vinegar like sauce. My Thai wife said it is called "white green".

Not 100% sure but it looks a bit like pickled mustard leaf to me.

It is actually fairly thick...though the photo makes it look thin it is quite chunky. Here is a pix of the other side....sorry for the slightly out of focus.

Apparently that is called Pak Gat Dorng (ผักกาดดอง)

Seems to mean.. pickled market vegetables.

I wonder if it's the same as Pak Som.. ?

I got it right. It is pickled Mustard. If you google the thai name Totster provided the Hi-Q food site shows it in its tinned variety. They call it lettuce in the ingredients list.

I think it can be bought in a tin from a supermarket

OK! Anyway it was really good. Eaten with nuts as a pre-starter course. I have never had it before.

i think when your wife says white green she is referring to 'phak kad khao' = white cabbage

the version shown here seems to be pickled...and hence phak kad dong as totster says

by the way seeing totsters post is always refreshing....just cos of the smiley he always adds at end of name thank you
