Home cooked yum pla dook foo (crispy catfish and green mango salad)

Cooking foreign dishes need not be a dream forever. The trick is to discover the ingredients of a dish, find a good source of the ingredients and learn whatever unique techniques are involved in making the dish. In the case of this Thai dish called yum pla dook foo or crispy catfish and green mango salad, the technique I had to learn was how to prepare the crispy catfish (next time I make this salad I’ll post step-by-step photos). The rest was just peeling and slicing and mixing. One of those times when I got everything right the first time.
