In this Lombard-inspired adaptation of Som Moo, we incorporate the flavors and ingredients of Lombard cuisine. The original Thai dish is typically made with ground pork, while our version uses tender pork slices. We also introduce Lombard herbs and spices to infuse the dish with the distinct flavors of the Lombardy region. The crispy coating adds a delightful crunch, giving the dish a unique texture. This fusion of Thai and Lombard influences creates a truly exceptional culinary experience. We alse have the original recipe for Som moo, so you can check it out.
