I’m so happy to find another lao cooking channel. My grandparents would make this every summer and we’d freeze and eat it through out the year. Thank you for this recipe! Now I can enjoy it with tham mak hoong and think about them 😊❤️

[@jwlawrey]

your use of nam pla is most ingenious and bet it adds a nice complexity to the flavour, and the addition of the nitrite had such an amazing effect on colour and texture! thank you so much for sharing

I noticed you dehydrated the meat right after you added the marinade. Does that mean it doesn’t need to marinate in the fridge prior?

[@KrazyKATRecipes]

Sorry for the late reply... I usually don't marinate it over night but yes, it's perfectly fine if you want the ingredients to marinate longer!

[@thuhongpeck6921]

Hello, what is the difference between peppercorn and black pepper in this recipe?

[@KrazyKATRecipes]

The peppercorn to me, is more aromatic and has a little more robust "spicer" flavor. You can omit the peppercorn from the recipe and just use black pepper only if you like.

[@thuhongpeck6921]

@@KrazyKATRecipes I guess what I’m asking is is the “peppercorn”Szechuan peppercorn? Because black pepper is ground up peppercorns. I’m trying to figure out what to get at the store.

[@KrazyKATRecipes]

@@thuhongpeck6921no, it's not Szechuan peppers it's actually like you said, peppercorn and black pepper (which is the same thing, just different forms). I grated the whole peppercorn for the aromatics of it.

[@KrazyKATRecipes]

Thanks for watching! I hope you will like the recipe! As for the curing salt, I don't remember what brand anymore, because I transferred it from the bag into a glass jar (it's been so many years ago too).

Do I need to add salt along with the curing salt? Is it sour since u added the tamarind ?

You add a truckload of sugar in every recipe ! Sugar cloys tastebuds hence you add other things to compensate , eg. Salt, MSG, Sodium Nitrate. Yuk. Western food these days celebrates the natural flavour of ingredients.

[@KrazyKATRecipes]

Seasoning depends on my moods, sometimes I crave very simple to bland foods and other times I want it to taste saltier, sweeter, spicer etc... 😁 Thanks for watching my video!
