Sawaddee ka welcome to hot thai kitchen my name is Shannon and this is my aunty okay so I'm in
Bangkok today and I've got mini-me here with me and we're going to show you a recipe that you
and your kids can make and you and your kids can enjoy so what are we making today say um
today call me yum pla tuna yum pla tuna and what does that mean in English YUM it's mean Thai
salad and pla tuna is mean tuna fish tuna tuna fish so but if you're thinking that mayo a tuna salad
not the one this is sourest and we're not gonna make it spicy today because we're gonna make it
for kids but it's gonna be super delicious as a salad or in a taco okay so what's the first
thing that we need to do first thing you will get the chili chili paste or non fake Powell I've used
this before and cashew chicken into our mixing bowl now normally this dish uses fresh chilies
but since we're making it for kids we're gonna substitute chili paste which is not spicy and a
little bit sweet so it makes a nice substitute so for those who you even if you're making it
for adults if you don't eat spicy things like a great substitute and then what's the next
thing that goes in not the whole thing what is this called fish fish sauce so we're not gonna
put the whole thing in because that would be very salty so we're gonna put in just about a
tablespoon and a half or people - a tablespoon and two teaspoons okay and the last important
ingredient for our dressing is it's a Rankine Liza juice you can pour it the whole thing into
the bowl actually I lied it is not the last thing if you have one more thing in our dry
thing which is a sugar sugar we're gonna put some sure in just about two teaspoons just to cut the
the salt I'll do that actually why don't you do the second teaspoon and level it off okay good
now we're gonna now you want to use palm sugar you certainly can do that but we're just using
white sugar today just for you know just so it's quick to dissolve now you're gonna stir that up
until it's mixed with your big fancy spoons go for it keep going keep going make sure no peace
no pieces that's right that's good enough for now when we add other things the pieces will go
away see ya okay so what's the next thing that we need to do retching veggies what veggies do
we have the onion and tomatoes and tomatoes tomato she goes to apparently English her English teacher
must be Scott man Scott started apparently so they call it tomato jam do you know what this
is so celery but it's tiny celery or just a couple it's really really friggin it's smaller than you
would find Chinese celery in in North America they tend to be much larger and that goes what else to
him what else do we have peanut peanut no we're gonna leave that to the end because it's gonna
be garnish what is this pop - pop Tea Party is cilantro or coriander okay we're gonna add
that in what is this again uh-huh pom-pom dang or shallots just make sure you slice it pretty
thinly because they're pretty pungent when you eat it raw and then I'm gonna add instead of my
own tape this is her recipe in the night aside lemongrass to it this is lemongrass our entire
is called but kinda high that's right so we got this from our garden and you just want to
use the bottom two inches of it cut it very very finely because it's not very comfortable to plant
but I go add a really nice flavor to your salad okay are you ready up there not one last thing
some green onions I know they look more like chives because they're so small and that's all
our veggies is that too much of NZ's for you yeah no do you like vegetables yeah yes good
girl okay what's the last thing we need to add like we're missing something here what is going
on Spain shoot a fish all right go for it tinna do you like to them yes have you but have you
ever seen a whole tuna no and now this is the most important part hey let me taste it when I taste it
very good evening so to eat this dish James do you want to help me plate some rest I'm jalisa
tuna on more vegetables and this is kind of a good way to get your kids to eat more vegetables
cuz it's sort of mixed in with the tuna and we a lot of times we eat this with just plain rice
we can eat it with congee or you can put this in a taco or in a wrap but what we're gonna do what I'm
going to show you is how we're gonna eat it like little lettuce wrap so I've got these cute little
lettuce leaves here and make little bite-size appetizers and really refreshing and it's really
really healthy as soon as my mini-me finishes plating I'm going to show you how to eat it
have you made others have you cooked other things before okay okay deal she's neat idea
before oh good stuff now we're gonna okay okay what's our garnish peanut peanuts do
you want to go ahead and sprinkle it's kind of like sometimes it kind of applies to vomit
actually so those have higher salads do you like something mmm yeah this is
not too spicy for you no okay we're gonna clean the edges of the plate a little bit
good we're gonna paint good one thing I'm going to show you is how you can make a
little lettuce wrap out of it so these butter lettuce I'm just gonna put a little bike flip
like man Mia yes it does look like Mia Mia is kind of a a thing that we eat me
take a leaf of basil leaf and we these little things that it wrap it into a bite so exactly
in the guys is very good now this is super fun if you make this and let your gas and
your kids make a bunch of these and they can use it you can use rice crackers and
other things this makes a great salad and that is all I've got for you for today and we're
going to say goodbye to a man die and we'll see you next time for your next delicious
