Equipment

  • Wok

Ingredients

Citrus

  • 1 Grapefruit Pulled apart into pulp fibers
  • 1 Pomelo Pulled apart into pulp fibers

Other ingredients

  • 1 cup peanuts unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
  • 2 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Thai peppers
  • 2 tablespoon Chili paste
  • 1 Romaine lettuce heart

Instructions

  • In the wok, toast the peanuts without oil until brown and fragrant and then chop into smaller peanuts with a knife or in a food processor. I used a coffee grinder and got the effect in the image.
  • Toast the coconut flakes until light brown as well and place on a plate or bowl
  • If you want to add fish, shrimp or other fish stir-fry it now, with the oil. If you use mackerel, like I did, chop it up with the spatula and stir fry until cooked, about 2 minutes or more to be safe.
  • Add in the oil and stir-fry in the nuts and coconut and other ingredients other than the citrus for a few more minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Combine the pulpy segments of the citrus fruits and mix and then place on the lettuce and serve as hand held bites.

Notes

As always, nutrition is one of the most manipulated and bastardized sciences in existence for people out to make a quick buck.  We are not nutritionists or dietitians.
Our mission at healthythairecipes.com was born from my trying to rehab my wife's native Thai recipes to be as healthy as possible for both of us.  We like the whole foods, avoid processed ingredients approach.  What is healthy for us may not be healthy for you though as your situation is fact dependent.  I like to say, when in doubt, check it out with a doctor or dietitian, if you have concerns.  When it comes to food safety, When in doubt, throw it out, if you think an ingredient is questionable.
