Deep Fried Sun-Dried Pork

หมูแดดเดียว (Moo Dad Deaw) is a popular and very authentic Thailand appetizer, made by drying seasoned strips of pork in the sun until they are just semi-dried, then deep frying them to a delicious golden brown. The snack is a little like beef jerky, but the meat is soft and juicy, and coated with a marinade that is bursting with the flavors of coriander root, garlic, and sesame seed and molasses.
