A couple of months ago, when I was in Bangkok visiting my family, I had the pleasure of meeting @mayasiam and we had a great day together, cooking up a storm. The plan was that she would show me a dish and I would show her a dish. I asked Maya to show me how to make Thai eggplant salad and she asked me how to make tacos.
The link below is the @mayasiam post about our experience making Issan Style Thai/Mex tacos.

We started out the day by shopping for our ingredients. The local supermarket had just about everything that we needed.
Below, Maya explains to me about some local herbs.
Thai Eggplant salad with Shrimp
Ingredients:
Chicken breast (minced)
Shrimp (steamed)
2 eggplants
3 Duck eggs
4 Garlics
3 Shallots
1 spring onion
1 sprig of coriander
2 limes
2 red chilli
Flavoring Sauce:
2 tablespoons of pickled garlic
4 tablespoons of fish sauce
2 teaspoons of sugar
Method
- Saute the chicken with a little water to just cook it. Let it cool after.
- Steam the shrimp and let them cool.
- Brush the eggplant slices with oil and grill.
- Boil the duck eggs for 10 minutes for a nice runny yolk. If you use chicken eggs they take around 6 minutes.
- Toss the chicken with the flavoring sauce, shallots and shrimp.
- Build your dish by putting down the eggplant. Next add the chicken, shrimp and duck eggs. Garnish with fresh chilies, cilantro and fried garlic chips.
Below are some of the raw ingredients that we used for both of our dishes.
I love this simple charcoal grill that we use in Thailand.
Here Maya is cleaning the shrimp. She is always smiling!
After a long day of cooking we can now enjoy the meal!
I made a short video of our experience. It was such a fun day and I encourage everyone to meet up with your Steemit friends in person.
Just want to say a huge thanks to @mayasiam for teaching me how to make Thai eggplant salad with shrimp. I had such a great time with you in Thailand and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Aww, thanks Steve! I feel so happy to meet you and @loveself in real! I hope to cook with you again soon! ;)

Great detailed post Steve. The food looks top notch as always. Seeing you cooking outside in the beautiful warm South East Asian sunshine.....ahhhhh makes me want to hop the next flight back to Thailand. They have such great food there...meat, produce, ingredients, spices. I just love that country!

Looks delicious, even though we're not a big fan of eggplant, the 'yam' salad looks good with the Thai dressing. :)
Great to see you linked up with @mayasiam! It was great meeting her a few weeks ago during a meet-up on the green lung. :)

We were hoping to meet up again for a cooking demonstration like you did with her, but we have nothing else in return. Maybe we'll buy the ingredients and let her cook. Sounds like a fair deal ☺️

I'll contact you when I return to Bangkok. We can all meet up with and cook together. Just to meet in person is enough! You don't have to return anything! Maybe we can make it into an even bigger event and invite BKK Steemians....? Sounds like fun!

This is a Discord server that we started with @waybeyondpadthai. Invite: https://discord.gg/c8aGn3j It's mainly for chats and meet-ups in Thailand. There's a few Steemians based in Thailand in there, but there is also another Discord group for Thai written content and supporting the Thai community in general. We're in it too, but not active as the communication is mainly in Thai. Here's a link to that community too: https://discord.gg/yyRDMf8
