Lon Dtao Jieow (Coconut soup with fermented soybeans)

A lot of Thai food that have coconut milk for the main of ingredient and today I’m going to present one in a hundred dishes that have coconut for main ingredient. Actually I got this recipe from my dad and he cooks really great “Lon Dtao Jieow”. Lon Dtao Jieow is the easy menu because not so many ingredients and also will be done within 15-20 mintues. So if you want to have a quick Thai soup, Lon Dtao Jieow is the one that I would recommend. Let’s start!

Lon Dtao Jieow Recipe (Serves 2-3)

- 1 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 100 gram minced pork or chicken
- 3 tbsp fermented soybeans
- 5-7 Fresh Thai chile peppers, sliced into short length
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot
- 1 tbsp Thai Palm Sugar
- 2-3 tbsp tamarind juice
- 1 cup water

Place the coconut milk and water into the pot over medium heat until it boils. Add minced pork or chicken in coconut milk and wait until it starts to boil and pork is cooked. Season to taste with fermented soybeans, palm sugar and tamarind juice. Follow with chillies and shallot. When it returns to the boil, remove from the heat. Serve hot with rice.

The taste will be a great combination between little bit salty from fermented soybeans, sour, sweet and also spicy from chillies. It depends on what you want for your taste and can add more for your own favourite taste.

Steve likes this menu a lot because he said he likes the taste and also texture from soybean in the soup. So let me know what do you think after you try it already…
