Sajian ini cukup popular di restaurant Thai mahupun restaurant Cina. Kacang gajus yang digoreng terlebih dahulu menjadikan sajian ini agak unique. Ada yang meletakkan cili kering dan ada juga yang meletakkan cili Benggala. Semua bergantung kepada citarasa masing-masing. Untuk resipi ini saya letakkan sedikit cili pes untuk menjadikan lebih pedas. Memang sedap dan sesuai dijadikan lauk dihidang bersama sajian lain.
