Bamboo shoot salad ( Thai: ซุบหน่อไม้, RTGS: sup nomai, pronounced [súp nɔ̀ː.máːj]; Lao: ຊຸບໜໍ່ໄມ້) is a traditional Lao / Northeastern Thai ( Isan) dish.
It is a popular dish, often sold alongside somtam in Thailand, and features sour, salty and hot tastes from lime, fish sauce, dried chilli and toasted rice. [1] [2] In addition to bamboo shoots, typical ingredients also include local herbs such as yanang ( Tiliacora triandra), lemongrass and phak phaeo ( Polygonum odoratum). It is traditionally eaten with warm sticky rice and grilled chicken ( kai yang). [3]
In Thailand, considerable confusion exists regarding the name of the dish, as sup, a Lao word describing this kind of spicy salad dish, is a homophone of the loanword for soup. The name of the dish is often misspelled as ซุปหน่อไม้, which would mean "bamboo-shoot soup". [2]
