To celebrate Lunar New Year we made three Chinese influenced Thai dishes.  “Tom jab chai,”  braised greens with dark soy sauce and Chinese five spice that is typically served in Chinese-Thai restaurants in Thailand. The vegetables are cooked until they are very soft! We also snuck in some locally made tofu into the dish. 

You may have heard of Cowgirl’s Khao Kha Moo in Chang Phueak, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Or you may have been to Nong’s Khao Mun Gai in Portland and ordered the only pork dish on the menu instead of her famous poached chicken dish. We are making that pork dish for this popup. “Khao kha moo” uses a fatty and gelatinous cut of Fogline Farm pork, it is heavily braised with Chinese five spice and Thai’s holy trinity (cilantro root, white pepper, and garlic). We serve this dish with hot vinegar, which helps cut the sweetness of the pork on your palate.

Lastly, we soaked some bamboo shoots in chili oil and vinegar! It is crunchy! It is spicy!
