INSTRUCTIONS
Here's an excellent side dish to go with Satay, grilled fowl or meats,
fish--just about anything you can imagine.
Sweet and Sour Cucumber Relish (Taeng Kwa Brio Wan)
Toss the cucumber, onion and chili flakes together in a bowl. In a small
saucepan, over low heat, dissolve the sugar in the water. Remove from heat
and stir in the vinegar and salt. Pour this mixture over the veggies. Stir
and refrigerate until served.
From "The Original Thai Cookbook" by Jennifer Brennan GD/Perigee, published
by Putnam. 1981.
This a is quick 'n' easy dish that's refreshing--good for a barbecue on a
hot summer day. Some of the sucessful variations that I've tried have been:
Rice vinegar for white, add thinly sliced red or green hot chilis, use palm
sugar instead of granulated.
