yum moo yang : spicy grilled pork salad


Spicy Grilled Pork Salad : ยำหมูย่าง
...
Wow… it’s been so long since my last post. I have been kept too busy with life and things after New Year. Every fresh year, we all try to set New Year Resolutions. Mine was to shed 5 more kilos (yep, I want to be a skinny type of person as every time I look at “Vogue”, ”Elle”, or “Harper Bazaar” – everything in there always convinces/ed me that being skinny goes well with every clothes that creates by those talented designers. Shallow eh? Oh well, no one was born perfect… and one thing I am sure being a woman for 34 years is that we all (women) want to be pretty.”

Anyway, back to the recipe, the spicy salad is good for diet. (I try to eat only 1,200 Kilo/Calories per day and by doing that, I need to stop eating lots of meat. Veggies are something that I should eat 4-5 times a week. Recently, I read from a medical book that eating too much of law vegetables is not healthy. So, I avoid eating raw veggies by cooking them only a few times in a week.. and try to eat more of cooked veggies.)
