Nam Tok Moo Recipe (Thai Grilled Pork Salad)

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork (neck or shoulder)
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tsp white sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tsp white sugar
• 1/4 cup shallots (finely sliced)
• 2 tbsp mint (chopped)
• 2 tbsp green onions (chopped)
• 2 tbsp coriander (chopped)
• 1 1/2 tbsp toasted rice powder

Steps

1. 1

   Marinate the pork. Place the pork in a mixing bowl. Add oyster sauce and sugar, then mix well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Grill the pork. Heat a grill pan (or outdoor grill) and cook the pork until charred on the outside and cooked through.

3. 3

   Slice the pork. Let the meat rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. If the pork was thick and the inside isn’t fully done, return the slices to a grill pan or non-stick pan to finish cooking gently.

4. 4

   Make the dressing. In a large bowl, combine fish sauce, chili flakes, lime juice, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

5. 5

   Toss everything. Add the sliced pork to the dressing and toss well. Mix in shallots, mint, green onions, and toasted rice powder.

6. 6

   Serve. Plate the salad right away and enjoy it with warm sticky rice or steamed jasmine rice.
