Mu daet diao

Mu daet diao is an authentic Thai dish made with sliced pork meat that is soaked overnight or for a few hours in a marinade of salt and fish sauce. It is then allowed to dry in the sun for several hours before preparation. For added flavor, the marinade can be flavored with chopped garlic, pepper, coriander seeds, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. The sun-dried pork slices are deep-fried in heated oil until nice and fragrant, then served with cooked sticky rice, tomato slices, green lettuce leaves, and hot chili sauce for added spiciness. This Thai-style pork jerky is commonly sold by som tum vendors.
