Yam Fern Chan
Serves 2 Cooks in 30 minutes Difficulty Easy
Yam Fern Chan was the signature dish from my old restaurant Fern Chan which I used to run with my Mother long before I had a Thai cooking class in Khao Lak.
Translated into English, the restaurant’s name meant My Boyfriend so this dish would be known as My Boyfriend Salad. If you are interested you can read all about my old restaurant here.
Anyway, back to Yam Fern Chan. This is a really simple Thai salad that packs some amazing tastes and textures and a true Apple original 🍎 It is nicely spiced with a slightly sour edge. I used to make it with chicken and shrimp but you can use pretty much anything you have left over in the fridge.
