Sliced grilled pork salad with herbs, red onion, cucumber, and carrot garnish.
Nam Tok Moo

Nam tok moo is a Thai salad of grilled pork with herbs, toasted rice powder and a chilli-lime dressing. The cooked pork is sliced and mixed with fish sauce, lime juice, chillies and sugar. Shallots, mint, spring onions and coriander give the salad fresh flavour, while toasted rice powder adds roasted aroma and texture. It is served with sticky rice or steamed jasmine rice.[1]

Praew’s version marinates pork neck or shoulder in oyster sauce and sugar before grilling. The sliced meat is tossed with the dressing, then the shallots, herbs and rice powder are added. This grilled-pork preparation differs from larb moo, which uses cooked ground pork.[1][2]
