In the northern Thai village of Doi Mae Salong,
members of the -largely Chinese- community slice-up
hua chao thao
roots, and hang them out to dry in the sun and wind. |
This root, known in English as East Asian
white radish, is widely used in oriental cuisine for its mild flavour. |

In the right season, large parts of the village are
covered with clotheslines, filled with hundreds, if not thousands of sliced
roots. |
It seem the
local people
make use of
every available
spot they can
find to hang up
the roots. |

Once they are ready, the dried roots
are seasoned with chilies and other local spices, making a crunchy, Chinese-style
snack.
