Nam Tok

Nam Tok is a traditional Thai salad celebrated for its bold flavors and refreshing ingredients. This dish features grilled meat, usually beef or pork, that is thinly sliced and tossed with a vibrant dressing made from fish sauce, lime juice, chili, and roasted rice powder. The salad is enhanced with fresh herbs like mint, cilantro, and green onions, adding a burst of freshness in every bite. Often served as a starter or light main course, Nam Tok is suitable for a hot summer day or any casual gathering.
