Pailin Chongchitnant’s selected moo tod kratiem coats thin pork-shoulder slices with a garlic, white-pepper and coriander-stem marinade before deep-frying. Fried garlic finishes the meat, giving this version two distinct uses for the same head of garlic.
White peppercorns are pounded first, followed by one third of the garlic and the chopped coriander stems. Oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar join that paste around the pork.
The remaining garlic is chopped evenly and fried until light golden. It is removed from the oil, leaving the scented oil available for the pork’s separate frying stage.
Cornstarch makes a wet coating around the marinated slices. More oil increases the depth in the same pan, and the pork fries in small batches before draining on absorbent paper.
The fried garlic is scattered over the pork, with coriander leaves as an optional garnish. Separately prepared jasmine rice or sticky rice accompanies the selected dish.
