Spicy Thai Salad Recipe: Moo Nam Tok
By Thai-Eyes | März 20, 2008
Thaipeople enjoy to spend their free time with their families or with friends.
Mostly on weekends with nice weather,
a real migration of people heads on to the countless waterfalls of the country.
Packed with baskets, with the finest Thai specialities
and a few bottles of beer or Whiskey,
they are searching for a nice place to spend the day.
Our Thai recipe: Moo Nam Tok - Spicy Thai salad with barbecued pork
is one of the most liked dishes, which Thaipeople eat at the waterfalls.
Maybe the strange name of this mouthwatering Thai salad leads to that,
because “Moo Nam Tok” is translated as “waterfall pork”.
Foreigners (Farangs) meant however the name would come from the tears,
which will shoot from Your eyes,
like a waterfall, because of the fierceness of this very tasty salad from Thailand.
Ingredients:

3-4 small red onions or shallots
juice of 2 limes

sugar or palmsugar to season
