Isaan

Northeast, Khon Kaen

The story behind it

Where Kuahaeng comes from

Fermented fish sauce — Pla Ra — is the soul of Isaan cuisine. In northeastern Thailand, far from the sea, freshwater fish was preserved through fermentation. The result has a pungent aroma and a deep flavor.

Kuahaeng combines this with smoked mackerel and roasted chili to create a seasoning that is sprinkled rather than spooned.
