Fermented Fried Pork with Chilies and Kaffir Lime Leaves

Chiang Rai, Thailand – “You eat local foods?” the woman at the hotel said with surprise when I returned from Chiang Rai’s fun night market with fermented fried pork with chilies and kaffir lime leaves, nahm phrig num (chile eggplant relish), khao niao (sticky rice), khao hang gai (wok fried chicken with local greens) and yam gob (northern curry with frog).  I did that night.
