Hi Appon.
This is one of my favourite dishes from your website. I have made it many times now but have never come accross anything like it in Thailand despite several trips there.
Love the website. Keep them coming!

Sa wat dee krup!
Thank you for the recipe; your site is amazing!
I made this tonight and it turned out great.
The only thing that was difficult was trying to figure out how much 5 grams of mint and pak chee would be. I finally just gave up and used a small handful of each.
It seems it would be a lot easier if the herb and vegetable measurements were given in cups instead of grams.
But that is just a minor complaint, your site is still one of the best Thai cooking sites on the internet!
[Appon]Click on the Ingredient details to get a US measure. But don't worry, a small handful is good enough.

Hi Appon, this is the first recipe I've tried from your site, it was absolutely delicious, I love it! My new favourite way of eating salmon - I served it over a bed of rice to make it more substantial. I'll be trying many more of your recipes! :)
PS. Its fine in grams, cups is much more confusing.

Excellent with trout of all kinds too. Especially rainbows. Brownies are a bit too subtle for this dish though.
