This is a very easy but tasty Thai salad that I make whenever I'm craving for Thai food. Koon chiang meaning Chinese sausage in Thai is quite a popular ingredient in Thai cooking thanks to the sizable Chinese populations there. Very few ingredients are needed for this simple salad so you'll be able to whip this up very quickly next time you crave for something Thai. Less is more? Absolutely!
P.S A perfect beer snack in the sunny garden!
