The second dish of green peas is a bright and aromatic Thai cuisine dish that combines the delicate taste of green peas with the spiciness of fried bacon and garlic. Thai cuisine is known for its ability to balance textures and flavors, and this dish is no exception. The sweet peas gain a rich hue from the spicy pancetta, while white sesame adds a light nutty note. Slow cooking allows the ingredients to absorb each other's aromas, creating harmony in every bite. This dish is perfect as a standalone hot treat or as a side to rice or noodles, highlighting the exotic warmth of Thai cuisine.
