Spicy Lotus Stem Salad is a healthy and flavorful dish at Nong Khai Beer House, combining the fresh crunch of lotus stems with a special spicy dressing. While green papaya may not be the star, the crisp, crunchy lotus stems provide a refreshing and unique texture. The salad is mixed with bird’s eye chilies, lime juice, fish sauce, and palm sugar, creating a perfect balance of spiciness, sourness, saltiness, and sweetness. Some variations of the dish include fresh or dried shrimp, adding an extra layer of rich flavor. This dish is both a healthy option and a spicy favorite, perfect when paired with sticky rice or as a side to enjoy with cold beer.
