Sai krok Isan
Sai krok Isan is a delicious and popular northeastern Thai dish. It is a type of sausage made from fermented pork, rice, garlic, and various herbs and spices. The mixture is stuffed into casings and then grilled or pan-fried to perfection. Sai krok Isan has a unique and distinct flavor that combines sourness, saltiness, and a hint of spiciness.
