EN GAI TOD
Serves 4 Cooks in 5 minutes Difficulty EASY
This is a classic Thai snack. As always with Thai cooking we use everything, nothing goes to waste. The “knuckles” of a chicken make a delicious and crunchy snack, packed full of flavour.
A super simple snack with a crunch. The crunchy sensation with the slight hit of soy and sesame go great with a cold beer. Kids love these too, with a simple tomato sauce.
En Gai Tod can be enjoyed as it comes, or serve with fresh coriander and cucumber. My last blog was an awesome Myanmar Style Tea Leaf Salad. This and En Gai Tod and my are great snacks for any occasion.
