For a vegetarian option, substitute the cooked chicken with firm tofu, cubed and lightly pan-fried until golden brown. Adjust the amount of Thai chili peppers to your desired level of spiciness. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving. If you can't find Thai basil, mint leaves can be used as a substitute, although the flavor will be slightly different. Consider using betel leaves for a more authentic Miang Kham experience.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a small saucepan, combine the shredded coconut, chopped peanuts, minced shallot, minced ginger, lime zest and juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, and water. Swirl to mix. (2 minutes)
02
Step
17 mins
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces by about half and begins to thicken. (Approximately 15-20 minutes)
03
Step
30 mins
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a little water. If it's too runny, return it to the heat and reduce it a bit more. (Approximately 30 minutes cooling time)
04
Step
20 mins
To assemble the wraps, place a generous teaspoon of cooked chicken in a fresh spinach leaf. Top with a pinch of toasted coconut flakes, a few roasted peanuts, a Thai basil leaf, a quarter slice of lime, a piece of Thai chili, one or two pieces of shallot, and one or two cubes of ginger. (Approximately 20 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the prepared sauce over the toppings. Carefully wrap everything into a single, neat bite. These are best enjoyed in one go to experience the full symphony of flavors. (2 minutes)
