Description
Grilled pork, sliced thin, dressed with the same components as larb: fish sauce, lime juice, toasted rice powder, dried chilli flakes, shallots, mint, and coriander. Nahm tok (literally 'waterfall') refers to the juices that flow from the grilled pork as it is sliced — the fat and juices of the grilled meat becoming part of the dressing. Where larb uses poached, minced meat, nahm tok uses grilled, sliced meat — the Maillard caramelisation of the grilled surface providing depth that the poached protein cannot. The technique is identical to larb; the different character comes entirely from the grilling.
