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

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.

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.

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.
