Nam tok beans

I went on an amazing trip to Southeast Asia a couple years ago – my boyfriend and I visited Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. We ate some absolutely incredible food along the way, but to be honest, my absolute favorite Thai dish I’ve ever had is at a restaurant called Kin Khao in San Francisco. It’s inspired by a beef salad we weren’t able to try in Thailand, because it unfortunately and irrevocably contained beef, so we knew we had to find a way to recreate this magic at home. When we made it we actually tried frying beans (our apartment smelled like oil for about a week after), but found we liked it with roasted edamame more – which is great since it’s healthier and easier too! It’s tangy, healthy, and can be adapted in a million different ways.
