Miang Kham

Miang kham (or "mieng kham", miang kam, miang kum, Thai: เมี่ยงคำ, IPA: [miəŋ kʰam]) is a traditional snack from Thailand and Laos (Lao: ໝ້ຽງ Lao pronunciation: [mȉaːŋ]). In Thailand, it is often sold in the street, the ingredients separately wrapped in small plastic bag. In Laos, the preparation is particularly popular at festivals and is usually prepared on-site and sold ready-made to attendees.The name can be interpreted as meaning "eating many things in one bite" - from miang (เมี่ยง), meaning "food wrapped in leaves", and kham (คำ), "a bite".Miang kham often consists of fresh Piper sarmentosum or chaphlu (ช้าพลู) leaves that are filled with some roasted coconut shavings and few small pieces of the following core ingredients:

• Purple onion
• Fresh red or green chilli pepper
• Ginger
• Garlic
• Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) with its peel

Roasted peanuts and small dried shrimps are often added to the mix. Other ingredients that may also be added to the mixture are pieces of cashew nut instead of peanuts and little pieces of sour green mango.In Thailand, the filled leaves are often topped with palm syrup (or its ersatz, sugar cane syrup) and/or fish sauce (nam pla).In Vientiane, the capital of Laos, the preparation is very often folded in either cooked cabbage leaves (kaalampii' - a local staple) or lettuce. Other leaves can be used, such as spinach. Wondee Siam 813 9th Ave, New York, NY 10019(917) 286-1726 ‎wondeesiam2.com[mappress mapid="125"]
