Where is the best STREET FOOD you've ever had? T Where is the best STREET FOOD you've ever had? 

The street food in Thailand was by far the best I have ever had. JB agrees now but he was so nervous to eat in Thailand because everyone freaked him out with travel tales of getting sick off street food! He couldn't believe how adventurous I was ready to be trying all different street foods (being careful about avoiding gluten of course!) because I'm usually the picky restaurant eater between the two of us 😂

But food + travel is my greatest passion and joy in life and I think enjoying local, authentic foods in new cities is one of the best ways to explore and get a feel for the local culture. Planning my meals when traveling takes up about 90% of the research I do! 

If you know what to look for and are careful you should be 100% fine tasting all the delicious street food all over the world! 

This is some of the best pad thai I've ever had, on Yaowarat street in Bangkok's Chinatown. I organized a street food tour through Bangkok Food Tours and it was EPIC! They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy and were so nice, flexible and knowledgeable. We loved talking to our guide about the food just as much as we enjoyed eating it. Read all about it by searching "Bangkok" on  JessObsessed.com! 

What's the best street food you've ever tried? Tell me in the comments 👇

What is the BEST meal you've EVER had? If you had What is the BEST meal you've EVER had? If you had to pick just one, what is the best restaurant experience of your life? 

Mine is hands down the emoji tasting menu at the original Gaggan in Bangkok (update as of 2022: the original Gaggan is closed and I hear Anand is planning a new restaurant in Japan too, so time to get back to Asia!) 

Gaggan's emoji tasting menu was hand-down the most creative, inventive dining experience I have ever had. A 25-course tasting menu where every dish was more unique than the last. It was food theater at its best but not for the sake of theatrics, it was to make eating a complete sensory experience - taste, of course, but also the way the presentation of the food engaged your sense of sight, smell and touch.

The course that stands out the most is the "lick it up" plate! The waiter placed a portable radio on the table and blasted "Lick It Up" by Kiss. The waiter placed a plate with a trio of sauces in front of us, with no utensils, and the words "lick it up" written in the sauce. We looked up confused. The waiter smiled, shrugged and gestured for us to follow the instructions. So we picked up the plates and licked up the sauces until the plates were clean! 

I cannot WAIT to get back to Asia to try Gaggan's new restaurant in Bangkok and if he opens his long-promised restaurant in Japan I'll be on a flight ASAP. 

So tell me, what is the most unique and memorable restaurant experience you've ever had?

Jicama Salad with Peaches and Ginger-Lime Shrimp

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Crunchy, refreshing jicama gets a tart and sweet treatment in this crunchy salad recipe when it mingles with fresh summer peaches, cucumber, radish and red onion, all tossed in a light honey-lime vinaigrette. Serve with air-fryer shrimp with lime and ginger for a healthy, easy dinner recipe that’s full of flavor.

What Is Jicama?

Jicama (pronounced HEH-KA-MA) is a Mexican root vegetable that is often compared to a turnip or yam, but it has a much milder, slightly sweeter flavor and is very crunchy. I think a closer comparison for jicama is a less starchy, slightly sweet parsnip or carrot. Or maybe if a parsnip and a cucumber had a baby? A cross between an apple and a potato? You’ll have to try jicama and tell me if my metaphor works in the comments below!

What Are The Health Benefits Of Jicama?

Jicama is very good for you! While it may seem like you’re eating a very starchy vegetable, jicama is actually much lower in carbohydrates than a potato or other root vegetable. According to WebMD, jicama is full of fiber, antioxidants, Vitamin C, and has a very high water content to help with hydration and a low glycemic load.

How To Serve Raw Jicama

Jicama looks like a brown beet, or a very round Idaho potato on the outside and crisp white flesh on the inside. Jicama is delicious raw as a snack on its own or served in a salad. To serve raw jicama, carefully peel the skin and slice the white flesh into sticks, chunks or cubes then prepare according to your recipe. You can eat it on its own or with a variety of dips or dressings! I like to snack on plain raw jicama or dip it in nut butter or use it in this recipe for jicama peach salad of course!

What Goes Well With Crunchy Jicama Salad?

Jicama is a versatile vegetable and it goes well with watermelon, peaches, mangos and avocados. Lime juice, cilantro or mint add flavor to dress the jicama, and in this recipe, we’re adding a honey-lime vinaigrette along with red onion and radish to balance the sweetness. To make this jicama peach salad into a meal, we’re adding ginger-lime shrimp. You could use grilled chicken or other fresh fish or seafood. Jicama would also pair well with ceviche.

Plates of jicama peach salad and air-fryer shrimp with lime and ginger.

Recipe Instructions

Plates of peaches, carrots, radishes, jicama and cucumber sticks and a jar of honey-lime vinaigrette. These are the ingredients for jicama peach salad.

To make the jicama salad and ginger-lime shrimp, start by preparing the shrimp so it can marinate while you assemble the salad. Rinse and dry your shrimp, then add to a bowl with 2 tbsps of ginger powder, 2 tbsp of lime juice and 1 tbsp of oil, with salt to taste. Stir to coat the shrimp and let sit while you prepare the salad.

Then you’ll peel and chop all the vegetables to add to a large bowl. In a separate bowl, you’ll mix the vinaigrette together using 1/4 cup of olive oil with 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.

I like to cut the jicama, carrots and cucumber into matchsticks, and then very thinly slice the peaches, radishes and onion but you can also chop everything into chunks, cubes or dice the vegetables, it’s all about your preference!

Once the salad is assembled and the vinaigrette is mixed, preheat your air fryer (or fire up the grill for the shrimp) and cook the shrimp in a single layer at 390F for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred.

Assemble the shrimp on skewers, dress the salad and toss to coat, and serve immediately!

The salad will keep for about a day or two in the fridge once dressed (it does get soggy rather quickly) so it’s best to eat right away.

INGREDIENTS

For the Jicama Peach Salad:

1-2 lbs raw jicama

2 ripe peaches

1 cucumber

3 medium carrots

4-5 radishes

1 red onion

Optional: crushed cashews, cilantro or mint for garnish

For the Honey-Lime Vinaigrette:

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tbsp honey

2 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Shrimp with Lime and Ginger:

2 tbsp ginger powder

2 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

For the Jicama Peach Salad:

  • Cut the jicama, carrots and cucumber into matchsticks, thin slices or cubes (I prefer matchsticks)
  • Thinly slice the peaches, radishes and red onion
  • Add all vegetables to a large bowl
  • In a separate bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients and whisk well to combine
  • Toss salad with dressing just before serving

For the Shrimp with Lime and Ginger:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390F for 3 minutes (or heat up your grill, oven or pan)
  • Rinse the shrimp and pat dry, add to a medium bowl
  • Toss shrimp with oil, ginger powder, lime juice and salt and pepper
  • Let the shrimp marinate with you prepare the ingredients for the salad (if you’re short on time the shrimp is just as flavorful without marinating thanks to the wonders of the air fryer, or you can prepare the shrimp the day before and let marinate overnight)
  • Cook the shrimp in the air fryer (or your preferred method – grill, pan etc) for 5 minutes, turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred
  • Thread the shrimp onto wood skewers (if grilling the shrimp, do this before cooking) using about 4-5 shrimp per skewer and serve alongside the jicama salad
