]]>Chiang Mai’s Food Pavilion
Chiang Mai is located in the Northern region of Thailand, and is a wonderful city to visit if you’re looking to truly immerse yourself in Thai food culture. Every now and then, the city will host a massive food pavilion on its streets, which is essentially a way for food truck owners and merchandisers to sell their products to locals and tourists alike.
This is the kind of place where you’ll have the opportunity to try a wide variety of different foods you’ve never tried before. Thai cuisine is one of the most popular in the world, and this event is a great way to enjoy it.
Another cool aspect of this food truck event is that it’s oddly calm. Usually at events such as these, when you have thousands of people walking around, the vibe is loud and seemingly uncontrollable. But in Chiang Mai, everyone is very respectful and calm towards one another. It’s truly unlike anything you’ve ever seen, and it certainly enhances your food experience as well.

]]>Fresh
For fresh vegetables, the most common found in spring rolls are shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and cilantro. For some added crispness, try adding thinly-sliced cucumber, sliced bell pepper, and a few mint leaves. For a kick, slice some red onions or even a bit of jalapeno if you like spice. Or, take your inspiration from tacos and pickle the red onions to add extra flavor.

You can really add any cooked vegetable you like to a spring roll, but it’s a good idea to pay attention to what can most easily be cut into strips. Remember that you will have to roll the filling into a rice paper later, so you want to make that process as easy as possible. Some great vegetables to try frying up with spices are cabbage (again, yes) and sweet potato.
These can both be cut into strips, so they are great from a flavor and a structural standpoint. Try seasoning the cabbage with sesame oil, chili oil, and soy sauce and frying it up. Sweet potato goes nicely with warmer, sweeter spices, so try seasoning with ginger and turmeric before cooking in a pan or in the oven.
