corkscrew Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Not 100% sure but it looks a bit like pickled mustard leaf to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkscrew Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 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.

Totster Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Apparently that is called Pak Gat Dorng (ผักกาดดอง) Seems to mean.. pickled market vegetables. I wonder if it's the same as Pak Som.. ? totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaten with nuts as a pre-starter course. I have never had it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG16 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
