(Spicy Pork and Tomato Dip with Vegetables) – This dish is quite popular in northern Thailand. You will be served with a plate and a bowl. In the small bowl, you will find a thick dip made with sweet cherry tomato sauce and minced pork. The plate is full of raw slices of cabbage, long beans, okra, cauliflower, and eggplant. Some places serve it with fried pork crackling, boiled eggs, and Thai sausage.
The taste is garlicy, sweet, and usually a little bit spicy. It is a good change from the usual flavors, since it doesn’t make use of lemongrass, galangal, or soy sauce. It is perfect as appetizer.
