Sai Krok Isan

 

Sai Krok Isan is a fermented sausage originating from the northeastern provinces of Thailand, also known as Isaan. It's a staple Isaan cuisine and a must-try for anyone visiting the region.

Made with ground pork and sticky rice, it's seasoned with garlic, salt, and various spices. The mixture is then stuffed into casings and fermented for several days, giving it a slightly sour and tangy flavor. Sai Krok Isan is often grilled or fried before serving, and is commonly served as a snack or as part of a meal with sticky rice and vegetables.  You can also find it wrapped in banana leaves and grilled.
