How To
Yesterday Erik and I went out to Ballard and had Miang kam. Erik, at one point knew a guy who was Thai and worked in the kitchen. Erik has now taught me the dish’s proper eating technique, which impressed the server mightily. So here is how to impress your Thai server and eat Miang Kam right:





1. Point the tip of the leaf toward you.
2. On the stem end, loosely fold the sides toward the center (as if you were makinga paper airplane)
3. Pinch the fold to hold the cup in place.
4. Place peanuts, lime, peppers, etc., in the cup and drizzle sauce on top.
5. Eat in one bite.










Point the tip toward you and take hold of each side of the broad end of the leaf.



Fold one side into the leaf and the other side on the outside of the leaf




Hold the leaf by pinching the fold




Select a pinch of peanuts, onions, ginger, shrimp, coconut, lime, peppers and palm sugar.
