    Jules's Blurb: Khwanjais Mackerel Salad is another spicy Thai salad recipe, as indeed are most Thai Salad Recipes however, if you eat this salad in the traditional style it does not taste very spicy at all.  See the video tutorial for eating this Thai salad in the traditional manner.  Although this is a recipe for Mackerel, you can use other fish of your choice if you prefer, Tuna being the Thai Salad favourite.

    There are many Mackerel recipes in Thai cuisine, and this Mackerel recipe is Khwanjai's own; it is quite a spicy Thai salad although it is also packed with aromatics producing a suffusion or flavours and textures to scintillate your taste buds without numbing them in the process

Making The Salad:

When the fish is cold, break the meat into a large mixing bowl taking care to remove all bones

Next squeeze in the juice of 2/3 lime and the fish sauce, chicken stock and sugar

Next add the Lemon grass and chopped Ginger, Shallots and Chillies and mix well

Do a quick taste test before adding Coriander and Spring onions

Done!
