Being a “yum” which roughly translates to “mixed” or “tossed” salad, this dish features a variety of vegetables and Thai herbs which provide for a rich source of fibre and nutrition.
In addition to the assortment of fresh vegetables and herbs, the dish comprises cooked rice and a unique dressing made from fermented fish sauce called “Budu”. This dressing is so distinctive, making the final product saltier, fishy and a little bit sweet.
But thanks to the heavy use of herbs, the fish and innards, which are fermented by sea salt, aren’t too overpowering and blend well together in one’s mouth.
