Salada Som Tum

A salada tailandesa Som Tum, também conhecida como Salada de Papaia Verde. É um prato popular na culinária tailandesa, conhecido por sua combinação única de sabores e texturas. A base da salada é o mamão verde, que é misturado com ingredientes como pimentões, tomates, feijão-de-vagem, alho, amendoim e molho de peixe. O molho é geralmente feito com sumo de limão, açúcar, molho de peixe, malagueta e um pouco de pasta de tamarindo.

O resultado é uma salada vibrante e refrescante, com uma mistura equilibrada de picante, azedo, doce e salgado. Som Tum pode ser servida como acompanhamento. Sugerimos: arroz jasmim cozido e frango de churrasco, acompanhado com esta salada, sendo uma combinação clássica e perfeita.

I love that “my regional version of a well-known food is the superior version” is a universal experience

What are your fave nyc places to eat? I'm visiting there soon and I want some new places to try

Oh this is my favorite subject. OK. Pause on everything else. As a disclaimer my favorite thing to do is dine out solo and eat at the bar with whatever paperbacks have been floating around in my bag. So my recommendations are geared toward that purpose. Off the top of my head:

Good Fucking Luck getting in but Dhamaka if you can manage. It's just that good. I am a ramen junkie and believe that Ippudo NY still has the best bowl of tonkotsu in the city, but I am also fond of Ichiran, Ivan Ramen, Momosan, and of course the OG Momofuku Noodle Bar. Other kinds of noodles: Xi'an Famous Foods remains legit, and get the sesame noodles + everything else at Hwa Yuan. A bowl of pasta and a negroni at I Sodi is one of my favorite luxuries. No No No has solid yakitori and ramen/sushi to boot. Cocoron on Delancey for curry dipping soba. Dirty French for slutty bistro fare and people-watching.

Darbar Grill is my favorite Indian buffet in Midtown; not that you should spend a lot of time in Midtown. Taste From Everest has really delicious, affordable Nepali food in Curry Hill. Ma La Project is old reliable for me and my mom on theater nights. You do in fact have to eat at Katz's Deli if you haven't yet, just go at like midnight after you've seen a show at Bowery Ballroom and you're hammered. Get khachapuri and a tarragon soda at Oda House. Somtum Der has Isan Thai cuisine that will knock your socks off and you absolutely MUST order the grilled coconut rice which comes on skewers and you can dip it into a pot of spicy broth from one of your other entrees. Heaven.

Also, go to Tomi Jazz and tell me how it is.

Moonlight Chicken Ep 7 Stray Thoughts

So stoked about the final episodes of this incredible ride.

Last time, all of the adults got closure on their relationships, but only Jim felt good about it. However, Jim couldn't enjoy the moment before things immediately took a turn for the worse for him.

At Wen's encouragement, Jim finally went to see the woman Beam was dating. He realized that he was second, but the woman held no resentment towards him. She just thinks they loved a selfish person, and she's moved on with her life. Khaotung destroyed us with Gaipa's reaction to being formally rejected by Jim. First continues to be one of the best as he played out Alan's hatred for Jim. Li Ming and Heart had their first kiss and continue to be adorable. However, Jim was not enthused by their relationship, and Alan clearly tried to harm himself.

I wonder if the hand cast is from when First broke his finger during filming because he grabbed Earth too hard.

Again, the wealth gap appears. Alan has health insurance.

Wen is not happy about this new arrangement at all.

Chapter 7: My Heart Represents the Moon.

Alan going to stay with relatives, and not forcing Wen to take care of him, shows that he's maybe learning to not see them as a couple.

Oh, this beach date is cute. I'm going to have to go look up Somtum later to see what the regional distinctions are. I know in the US the fact that Midwesterners out sugar in grits is awful.

There are multiple layers of metaphor going on with eating this chicken. I'm caught up on Jim saying plain chicken is too bland and asking Wen to add some sauce. Isn't that what Wen has added to his life? And Wen says Jim isn't romantic.

Gosh, I love Gaipa and Mrs. Hong. He's clearly heartbroken, but she doesn't resent Jim for not loving her son back. She insists that their bonds as neighbors and friends are stronger than that, and is still willing to help him with the loan. She even still offers food to Jim.

Khaotung is incredible.

Au! What are you still doing here?? Oh, you're here to warn us about Jim's reaction to Heart and Li Ming dating.

Lookwa! I hope she plays Fourth's mom every time. That would be such a funny bit of casting trivia a decade from now.

Li Ming does not seem happy to see his mom at all.

Oh man, what has Li Ming witnessed of his mom's romantic history. He seems way too jaded about this conversation about a new man. Li Ming is being ground to dust by others' expectations of him.

And then Jim enters the scene. I really wish Jim would speak directly to Li Ming and stop trying to entrap him. I also get his concern about Li Ming facing the hardships of queerness, but wish he hadn't framed it through such a controlling lens. Also wish he hadn't loud capped his nephew, but don't think he realized his sister was here.

I'm glad they're having this conversation away from Li Ming because he would be furious. I don't want Li Ming going to live with someone who resents his queerness, and with a stranger he's already decided to dislike. Also don't like Jim getting financial help from one of Jam's tenuous romances.

I really like how Saleng has filled this role of older brother or cousin to Li Ming. He seems like kind of a fuckup, but Li Ming seems like he can talk to him. Frowning at him offering cigarettes to a kid though.

Wen sees Jim at the condo and immediately knows it's about Li Ming. I'm so relieved that Jim is finally talking about Li Ming with Wen. Wen can ask Jim directly about his anxieties and cut through the BS. Jim is gay, and as Li Ming's guardian, he needs to support his nephew.

There's the line about waiting for conservative dinosaurs to die again. We just had it in My School President.

Thank you, Wen! The kids have a right to tell us when they're ready. It's our job to love them. It's not our place to out the kids, especially to themselves.

As much as I like Jim responding to Wen's hinting that he won't chase him forever, j absolutely do not want them doing anything sexy in Alan's apartment.

"I don't want to be a good guy. I want to be a guy who has a lover." I love Gaipa so much.

Hate that we went from a long take of seeing Mark and Khaotung play off each other immediately into tragedy.

I am not immune to Khaotung's acting. I am crying and grieving for Gaipa.

49 is too young.

Not the version of First and Khaotung chemistry I wanted to see, but a funeral is a great way to reveal how interwoven our communities are.

When I tell you I cried again because Heart's parents have been learning sign language. It's not about villains, y'all. It's about trying to love each other the way we want to be loved.

See, and the flashback to Beam's funeral is so important. We've had BL shouting for marriage equality for over a year now, and here are some of the critical reasons why it's important. Part of why Jim is so destitute now is Beam's parents basically robbed him, and he had no protection to stop that. If you think Heart and Li Ming are cute and want to adopt them, then fight for their future. Help the older queers instead of judging them. We're all in this together, and we can't just let our elders suffer.

They really got Wen hustling for work at the funeral.

I like Jim going to see Alan. Alan also needs to appreciate some aspects of getting older as a queer person. He needs to reckon with the reality that Wen wasn't stolen, and that Wen didn't jump into a relationship with Jim, because Jim is also not ready. I also think Jim needed to make things clear with Alan before he could move forward because of what Jim went through with Beam.

And he's clearing things with Wen. Mike Frazier would love Jim.

Oh wow. Li Ming hasn't really seen his mom in almost 6 years. I get his reluctance.

This is the first conversation we've seen from these two not charged with their competing wills. I also had my first beer with one of my uncles. It's a rite of passage. You can feel the easy rapport returning now that they're not trying to fight.

Fourth is talented. It's honestly this simple with young people. Li Ming asked to be given chance to choose for himself, and immediately things have improved by showing him just a modicum of regard.

Funeral singing is always so heartbreaking.

Life is just not simple. Despite the rejection, Jim will care for Gaipa. Despite the breakup, Wen will help Alan. We are a community. We don't just abandon each other, even if our relationships change.

Finale tomorrow. Full faith that they stick the landing.

Cilantro is actually not that hard to find in Japan! It came to Japan from China during the Heian period. Nowadays it's commonly known as pakuchii from the thai phakchii. This is @isaksbestpillow btw

Siiri in disguise, HI! (Hey, hope you’re feeling okay!)

At least one person saw my Fully Booked post, ha! I honestly wanted to see these amateurs try to tackle Thai cooking techniques because I’m learning as well, BUT, anyway: cilantro vs. culantro!

Cilantro is definitely ubiquitous (and yummy) (but not for folks with that soapy genetic tendency) — but I wrote “culantro” in my tags, and I believe it was in the ingredient list for the tom yum goong they were making. Culantro is used in both Thai and Mexican/Latin American cuisine, and I believe it’s also known as sawtooth herb or sawtooth coriander around my parts (I live in an area of the States where the next most populous demographic is Latino). Fresh culantro is not easily found in my non-Latino-dominant neighborhood; I’d likely have to head to a Mexican-majority neighborhood and supermarket to find it.

Culantro is hard enough to find in the States that the major Latino food supply company, Goya, makes a culantro cooking base that I have indeed found at least in my big city supermarket, but I haven’t searched for it in smaller neighborhoods.

I’ve never cooked with culantro! Now I’m curious about seeking it out.

Now these guys are gonna start episode 3 in an Osaka supermarket having difficulty finding coconut milk, which is concerning, but also, some of their recipes (was it somtum? I can’t remember) also called for cilantro/coriander ROOTS, which are notoriously hard to find outside of Thailand. I hope they can find them. Those roots are always chopped off whenever I get cilantro in the American supermarkets; and I’ve only seen the roots on bunches of cilantro only a few times in Asian supermarkets.

Thus endeth my meditation on leafy herbs; have a great day, Siiri! 🤣 I might continue to post on Fully Booked because my god, the harder their cooking tasks, the more lush their faces seem!
