Title: Warm venison salad in PrakhonchaiH
Post by: aparasher on December 24, 2011, 09:20:11 PM
Came back from a dinner at one of the restaurants next to Prakhonchai lake. This restaurant (Baan Peet) offered warm venison salad with lots of thai herbs and thin slices of bbq venison. Salad was quite nice and I enjoyed it a lot.

Only reason to mention this is due to the fact that I did not hear venison dishes served in this part of Thailand.

Sounds delicious. If venison is available it could soon make it's way as a 'special' at Coffee Corner.

That's a rarity here.
I'd give my left testicle for a couple of kilos of decent aged venison.

CC, that image - making my mouth water.
Though, it could have been just a tad overdone for me.

Bugger. I saw Santa leaving my home just seconds before reading this post. Could have captured a reindeer, and sold it to CoCo!

Another great dish I saw there was quail salad. I did not try it here, but would love to know how it was if someone else tried it.

I like whole little bird fried with 5 spices cooked at my local Vietnamese restaurant in Melbourne.

Looks like I must try Baan Pete. Menu sounds interesting, but not sure that on these cold nights I would want salad. Roast reindeer with all the trimmings might be nice.

I would imagine it would be the Chinese Five Spice mix. Prakhonchai is renowned for Pork in the 5 spices.

Five-spice powder encompasses all five flavors - sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty. This recipe is reprinted with permission from Raphael Meyer, American Kashrus Services.
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
1.   In a dry skillet, roast 2 teaspoons of Szechuan peppercorns by shaking the pan over low to medium heat until the aroma of the peppercorns is released (about three minutes).
2.   Grind the roasted peppercorns and 8 star anise in a blender or pepper mill.
3.   Strain the blended seasonings.
4.   Mix in 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon ground fennel seeds.
5.   Grind the seasonings until very fine.
6.   Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
1.   Use five-spice powder sparingly, as it can be quite pungent.
2.   If desired, you can substitute black peppercorns for the Szechuan peppercorn, and ground anise for the star anise (use 4 teaspoons of ground anise).
