This past week I made the Nua Kem (Thai-Style Beef Jerky) recipe J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
It was good, but only 3 stars ★★★☆☆ for now. I’d like to try again with thicker slices to try and get a “juicer” than beef jerky result that Kenji describes.

This past week I made the Jaew recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook to go with his Nua Kem recipe. I had heard of jaew, but never made it nor tried it. It’s a thin sauce that’s spicy and salty with a touch of sourness.
