Description
A warm salad of mixed mushrooms — briefly blanched or stir-fried — dressed with the standard yam dressing (fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, fresh chilli) and garnished with shallots, fresh mint, and coriander. Yam hed demonstrates the fundamental yam principle applied to a vegetarian protein base — the mushrooms' umami and textural range replacing the meat's richness, the dressing's acidity and heat providing the same aromatic framework. Thompson covers mushroom yam in the context of the central Thai vegetable preparations, noting that the mushroom varieties chosen determine the dish's character more than any other ingredient.
