Thai Pork Salad ~ Gai Yang with Tamarind Sauce
This month we've got two dishes that hail from the north of Thailand but are now eaten throughout the country. To begin, a spicy pork salad known as larp muang moo which is served with crunchy lettuce leaves and cucumber. This is the Lanna version (a kingdom of Thailand that existed between the 13th and 18th centuries) and is flavoured with toasted chilli but, more unusually, a variety of aromatic spices including long pepper, star anise, cloves, cinnamon and mace. For the main course we've got gai yang, Thailand's version of grilled chicken served with two delicious sauces, a sweet chilli version and a tangy tamarind one which is thickened with toasted rice powder.

The pork was sooo hot, but the rest was lovely.
Family camera shy but meal delicious the sweet chilli and tamarind sauces were amazing. I used soya mince instead of pork and worked really well. The stir fried vegetables were so good.The Spicery has reignited my love if cooking,
