BBQ pork on stick!!!

            On the very pretty day make me think about a picnic amm… what should I pack to the picnic.  Something that is easy to take and can eat in room temperature. “Khaw neaw-Moo ping” what is that?? Khaw neaw is a sticky rice that I have already told you how to make it in a rice blog, but what about Moo Ping??  Moo ping is a Thai style pork BBQ that is on a stick (but not satay).  In Thailand we have a lot of our street foods on a stick.  The reason why??  I think it’s because it makes it easy to carry and eat.  We have meat balls on a stick, squid on a stick, hot dogs on a stick etc., but this pork on a stick is very popular in Thailand especially for breakfast because it fills you up and keeps you running all morning!!!  But for me I like to make it as a lunch or dinner (my hubby cannot take too many heavy foods for breakfast).

Moo ping tastes kind of salty and sweet with the right combination of garlic and pepper flavor.  For some venders they serve with Num Jim Moo ping.  It is a sour, salty and a little bit of a sweet and spicy sauce that has the ingredients  like Num-Jim-Jew (in my Tiger cry blog), but you need to use tamarind juice only not lime juice and it tastes a little bit sweeter(recipe follows).  And don’t forget about the sticky rice too.  Now let’s make it!!
