Lanna Food I
Northern Thai food also shows a unique character that reflects the culture and its geography. The flavour of Northern Thai food is very subtle, mild yet satisfying, especially with steamed hot sticky rice.
Famous young chili relish is eaten widely up North with pork crackling and steamed rice. It is the base of different relishes in northern cuisine. Cured pork, AKA “Neam” is their delicacy; a properly made one is complex, sour, and meaty. Soup of cured pork and Ceylon spinach is one of the classic northern-style soups. Walking street, a well-known egg omelet on the banana leaf, is fun to make at home. The best thing is that you can be creative with the toppings. Young Jackfruit is one of the most undervalued ingredients in Thailand, especially in the restaurant context. The combination of young jackfruit meat, deep-fried garlic, and minced pork makes this relish unique.
