Thai Food of the Week: ไส้กรอกอีสาน sâi-gròk Eesăan

If you’ve ever travelled around Thailand, you may have seen these little golden-brown sausages hanging at street food stalls. 😋

ไส้กรอกอีสาน sâi-gròk Eesăan is a traditional sausage from Northeastern Thailand (Isan). It’s usually made with pork, garlic, and cooked rice, then fermented for a short time before being grilled.

The result? 🤔A sausage that is slightly sour, savoury, garlicky and wonderfully smoky after grilling. And it’s often served with fresh vegetables ผักสด (pàk sòt), chilli พริก (prík) and fresh ginger ขิง (kĭng).
