One-Bite Thai "Flavor Bomb" Salad Wraps (Miang Kham)
This is one of the most delicious, most exciting appetizers of all time. I've only had my mind blown a few times, but when I tried miang kham, that was one of those times. A savory, yet sweet sauce pulls together the intense, immense flavors that these salad bombs hold, and they're perfect for serving at parties.
Ingredients
- 0.33 cups unsweetened shredded dried coconut
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
- 1 small lime , zested and juiced
- 0.5 cups packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 0.67 cups water
Instructions
-
1
Combine coconut, peanuts, shallot, ginger, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, and water in a small saucepan, swirl to mix, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by about half and starts to thicken up.

2
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature before using. Sauce will get thicker once cooled. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a little bit of water. If it's too runny, simply put it back on the heat and reduce it a little more.

To make the wraps, place a heaping teaspoon of chicken in a spinach leaf, top with a big pinch of toasted coconut, a few peanuts, a Thai basil leaf, one piece of lime, one piece of Thai chili, one or two pieces of shallots, and one or two cubes of ginger.

Top with 1 teaspoon of the sauce and wrap everything into one neat bite. These must be eaten in a single bite to get all the flavors working properly together.
