Street Vendor Prepares Cotton Candy Roti


This is an ImportFood.com online look at the treasured Thai street vendor.

This vendor is part of our comprehensive Thai street vendor recipes & reports.

This creative street vendor has invented not only an innovative recipe, but also hand-built the cookware from bicycle wheels and scrap metal. Another example of Thai ingenuity and efficiency, which often expresses itself in the creation of delicious food.

He uses a glove to set just the right amount of rice flour mixture on the hot plate, then a small piece of metal to scrape that off, and into a stack where his wife sells 10 together with a colorful cotton candy they make beforehand. At home you can roll the candy up like a sweet spring roll dessert, we enjoyed it with rice cakes (se pictures below).
