About Nam Tok Nuea
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Pailin Chongchitnant’s selected nam tok nuea makes grilled picanha steak into a northeastern Thai meat salad. Fresh herbs, a spicy lime-and-fish-sauce dressing and homemade toasted rice powder accompany the thinly sliced beef.
Soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, black pepper, water and neutral oil make the steak marinade. The steak is grilled and then rests on a plate, keeping the juices that collect beneath it.
Selected jasmine rice toasts in a dry pan with an optional makrut lime leaf. The rice and leaf cool slightly before being ground together into the selected fragrant powder.
Thin steak slices and their collected juices receive fish sauce, fresh lime juice, a separate sugar portion, roasted chili flakes, rice powder and an initial dressing-water portion. Remaining dressing water can soften an overly salty taste.
The bottom part of a lemongrass stalk, sliced shallots, mint, coriander and optional sawtooth coriander finish the mixture. Separately prepared Thai sticky rice accompanies the freshly tossed salad.
