Barbecued Soured Pork Ribs - a photo on Flickriver

Dinner @ "Doi Ka Noi", a fiercely authentic Laotian restaurant in Vientiane.

I thought the "sour" bit could have been delivered by the usage of tamarind or other acidulants but I found out that this was actually a form of cured meat...although fermented meat is more the term I think....as the meat was left to ferment (yes, indeed) via lactic acid bacteria. The naturally occurring microbes use the carbohydrates in cooked rice as energy source. Salt is added which both adds flavour as well as inhibits bacterial growth. The end result will be pork ribs that are both sour and salty which is the intention.

While my table all like the dish - mate's son love the dish. The meat was tender and flavourful. Besides, which growing kid does not like the taste of (a well naturally seasoned) meat?

Afternote: Although this link provides more information on that Thai style....but one gets the gist since the "philosophy and science" behind the dish is more or less, the same. shesimmers.com/2011/02/thai-soured-pork-ribs-naem-si-kron...
