Khao Yum
タイのライスサラダ「カオヤム」は、カオ=ご飯、ヤム＝混ぜるを意味するタイ南部の家庭料理の一つ。
”バタフライピー”で炊き上げたジャスミンライスに、彩り豊かなサーモンや、干しエビ、パイナップル、チリなど12種の具材、またミント、パクチー、レモングラスなどのフレッシュハーブをトッピング。
食べる直前にたっぷりとライムを絞り、バタフライピーとライムの酸が混ざり合うことでご飯の色味がほんのりピンク色へ変化する様子もお楽しみ下さい。
At Longrain TOKYO, we use seasonal ingredients so our guests can enjoy a variety of Thai dishes. This impactful blue rice is jasmine rice colored with butterfly peas, a plant used in Thai herb teas. Around the rice, comes twelve garnishes, juicy "miso and Japanese pepper marinated salmon", browned "dried shrimps", Asian-style sweet "fresh pineapple", spicy "chili round slices", accented "pickled red onions", etc.
We have also added fresh herbs to give it a refreshing aroma, including mint, coriander, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and chrysanthemum. Mix everything together slowly and you'll start to smell the ingredients.
The dressing is a Longrain original, made with galangal, a type of ginger ofted used in Asian cuisines, garlic, and grated onions.
Before you enjoy the dish, squeese the lime to and blend it with the rice to make it a warm, pink color!
