Tip from tour guide
While visiting Bangkok, make sure to try the delightful Miang Kham, a bite-sized appetizer that offers a burst of flavors. Expertly wrapped in a wild pepper leaf, this Thai delight combines sweet and savory ingredients like toasted coconut, shallots, peanuts, dried shrimp, chili peppers, lime, ginger, and a drizzle of palm sugar sauce.
The clever use of the wild pepper leaf introduces a mild bitterness, creating a perfect balance. What's more, these ingredients bring not just flavor but also provide a nutritional boost, as they're packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that contribute to improved immune system function and reduced inflammation.
