Isaan Food

From Wikipedia:

The cuisine of Northeastern Thailand generally feature dishes similar to those found in Laos, as Isan people historically have close ties with Lao culture and speak a language that is generally mutually intelligible with the Lao language.

  • Kai yang – marinated, grilled chicken.
  • Khao niaoGlutinous rice is eaten as a staple food both in the Northeast as in the North of Thailand; it is traditionally steamed.
  • Mu ping – marinated, grilled pork on a stick.
  • Lap – a traditional Lao salad containing meat, onions, chillies, roasted rice powder and garnished with mint.
  • Nam chim chaeo – is a sticky, sweet and spicy dipping sauce made with dried chilies, fish sauce, palm sugar and black roasted rice flour. It is often served as a dip with mu yang (Thai: หมูย่าง, grilled pork).
  • Nam tok - made with pork (mu) or beef (nuea) and somewhat identical to lap, except that the pork or beef is cut into thin strips rather than minced.
  • Som tam - grated papaya salad, pounded with a mortar and pestle, similar to the Laos Tam mak hoong. There are three main variations: som tam pu (Thai: ส้มตำปู) with salted black crab, and som tam thai (Thai: ส้มตำไทย) with peanuts, dried shrimp and palm sugar and som tam pla ra (Thai: ส้มตำปลาร้า) from the north eastern part of Thailand (Isan), with salted gourami fish, white eggplants, fish sauce and long beans. Som tam is usually eaten with sticky rice but a popular variation is to serve it with khanom chin (rice noodles) instead.
  • Suea rong hai – grilled beef brisket.
  • Tom saep – Northeastern-style hot & sour soup.

The blog Prasat Phanomrung elaborates on two Isaan dishes: larb and pla ra. Unfortunately, the blog has fallen into disuse, it would seem. The sole entries ever made were in August and September of 2009.

Another blog, Isan – Thailand, also touched upon Isaan food in a post.

I am not sure if Eating Thai Food is a blog — I suppose it is; many of the entries relate to Isaan food. You might enjoy browsing it. The author gives his view of Isaan food here; but as I said, many of his posts do deal with various aspects of Isaan food. You may enjoy checking the site out.

If you are at all curious, the blog Isaan Style! has a fairly recent post (March) titled Real Isaan Food, Homemade Gang Nor Mai, Thailand.

This is a slide-show presentation on Isaan food which may be of some value to someone who can read Thai — none of it is in English:

If Isaan recipes are of interest to you, then you will find some by browsing through a site called Joy’s Thai Food. For instance, have a look at Thai Isaan Food Recipe: Ho Mok Gai Sai (Chicken and Bamboo Wrapped with Banana Leaves).

The site visit-chiang-mai-online.com offers a few recipes here: Think Thai Food – North-Eastern (Isaan) Specialities.

Thailand forums often have posts that focus on Isaan food. The language used can be very…basic. One forum with a couple of threads is TeakDoor: In praise of Isaan food and Really disgusting Thai/isarn food. The Thai Visa Forum has this 2005 thread titled Isaan Food Appreciation Thread… What makes your mouth water..

I am not sure if I have ever heard of the OpenmindProjects volunteer programme, but their three-day “Cross Culture Training” course sounds like it has considerable focus on Isaan food and the cooking thereof. This is the organization’s homepage.

This site is advertising an Isan Food & Wine Festival Masterclass: 2012 taking place June 8-12 next year.
