Reading the bitterness
Azadirachta indica var. siamensis, called neem young shoots, is also known in Thailand as sadao. Records identify young shoots and young inflorescences as edible parts and describe eating them after preparation to reduce bitterness, with a sweet fish-sauce dip.
A Thai government-related website article records the young shoots and inflorescences as edible parts; it reproduces the original article and is not an identification report based on plant specimens. The same article says they are eaten with grilled catfish or nam phrik, but this is one example of how they are eaten, not a fixed recipe specifying quantities or combinations.
