Thua nao moe is a local Lanna dish made by fermenting tender cooked soybeans for three days. The beans are grilled or steamed before serving with fresh green chilies. Some recipes recommend mixing a beaten egg in the fermented beans before grilling. It can be made into a stir fried dish (khua thua nao moe) or mixed with chili sauce (namphrik thua nao moe) (Rattana Phromphichai, 1999, p. 2638; Sumali Thabun, personal communication, June 27, 2007) |
