THAI SPICY FRIED MEAT SALAD

Thai Spicy Fried Meat Salad aka Nam-tok Moo/Neeu Nam-tok in Thai.

Who can resist this yum, yum delicious meat salad especially after 9-10 days of strict vegetarian diet?  The sweet, savoury and sourish dressing together with fragrant, tender fried black pepper flavoured meat and aromatic vegetables are absolutely salivating. 

Can't wait to quickly indulge in it after mixing of the ingredients. Tam Chiak, NO!, it is finger licking good.  I think you can use beef tenderloin for this salad too.

Recipe adapted from a Thai cookbook 'Healthy and Easy Thai Cooking' [my selected cookbook for Cookbook Countdown Event#10] with modifications.
