Ingredients
In this Dominican adaptation of Phat Phak Khom, we incorporate traditional Dominican ingredients and flavors to give the dish a unique twist. The original Thai recipe is typically vegetarian, but we add a touch of Dominican flair by incorporating sofrito, a flavorful blend of onions, garlic, peppers, and herbs. Additionally, we use adobo seasoning, a staple in Dominican cooking, to enhance the savory flavors. The tropical influence is introduced through the use of fruits like pineapple or mango, which add a delightful sweetness to the dish.
