Isan Ubon recipe, very spicy, made to be juicy, go and try it @Ekkamai

Pin 📍Isan restaurant with a direct recipe from Ubon. From the memory of Isan flavors that I used to eat, it was quite salty, strong flavors, and the fish sauce screamed. But ‼️ Every dish of Zao Zao that I ate today is well-rounded and delicious. It has all the flavors, sour, sweet, spicy, and salty, without any flavors competing for the scene. If you eat the same flavor, if you don't come to this restaurant, you'll miss out!!

💖 The highlight of this restaurant, aside from the taste, is the local seasonal ingredients that we don't often see, sent directly from the Isan to Bangkok, such as Pla Yon, termite mushrooms, log mushrooms, ants, grasshoppers, and many more.

🌶️ You can choose the level of spiciness and deliciousness.

But the menu that we ordered will not be very Isan because we still don't dare to open our hearts to eat Isan food seriously. So let's start with

✨ #Grilled Pla Yon 🐟 It's the first time I've heard of and eaten this type of fish. The fish meat is fine, soft, sweet, and fatty. The belly of the fish is long. The marinade is perfect. Grilled with a fragrant aroma. Paired with sticky rice and Jaew Yai Chui, it's so delicious that I can't contain myself.

✨ #Spicy salad with fermented fish and grilled pork neck 🐷 From someone who doesn't eat fermented fish because I tried it once and it wasn't really that spicy. Let me open my mind again. Oh my, it's fragrant, not too salty. They say it's delicious, that's what it is. I immediately applied to join the fermented fish and fermented fish fandom. The coarsely chopped papaya is crispy. The grilled pork neck is plump and fatty, grilled to be soft and perfectly cooked.

✨ #Spicy durian with roasted shrimp paste 🥙 You can choose between shrimp paste, fish sauce, or fermented fish sauce. I like that the durian is like freshly peeled and cooked right away, not pickled in salt until it's mushy because I like the pure, authentic taste of durian (I like to eat the skin more than the seeds). The roasted shrimp paste is fragrant and not too salty. There are seasonal substitute fruits to choose from, such as mangosteen, orange, star gooseberry...

✨ #Spicy salad with roasted shrimp paste and watermelon 🍉 It's a salad with the aroma of roasted rice and mint leaves. It's seasoned with a sour taste, a little salty, and spicy as ordered. And sweet from the taste of fruit without adding sweeteners. This is what I want. Eat it and it's juicy, refreshing, not fake sweet. When eating, scoop everything up in one bite. It will be perfect, full of flavor in your mouth, nirvana.

✨ Zao is a Vibes restaurant in Ekkamai with a true Isan heart. It got the recipe from Grandma Jui from Ubon. The whole restaurant and the dishes are decorated in style. It's worthy of the owner who is a designer. The music playing in the restaurant is very fun.

After the meal, I was impressed. I will definitely go back. There are many more Isan menus to enjoy without having to open my mind.
