Notes: With the main ingredient of this salad being fried egg some people find it is a bit off-putting, but I urge you to try it, it is truly delicious. Fried eggs complement thai food wonderfully, and in Thailand it is very common to order a fried egg as a side accompaniment to most meals. While I have listed only the typical ingredients, you can add grated carrot, cashew nuts, mint cabbage, spring onions, cucumber, you are only limited by your imagination. I highly recommend adding the cashew nuts at least.
