In Thailand the Hung-lay taste is might be changed from the original of Burma depending on the cook.

 

If you ask Thai people who come from the Northern part of Thailand, “What are the top-three Northern Thai dishes?”, they will definitely include “ Gang Hung Ley” as one of their answers. It is believed that Gang Hung Ley originally comes from Thai Neighbor country, Myanmar, and then it was adapted to suit Northern Thai

In Thailand many people they knew that “Hung-lay is the food of northern style” cause it is very common in North and spread to several areas in Thailand.

Hung-lay gives wonderful exotic aroma especially from garlic and ginger. The Hung-lay is good and smooth taste, because the meat is simmered to tenderize it, no need to use expensive cuts.

The main ingredients of Kang Hung Ley are pork and streaky pork. Since the temperature in the northern region is lower than other parts of the country, Kang Hung Ley can provide a good source of energy for the northern people to stay warm, especially in the winter. To reduce the oily taste, pineapple is added as another ingredient since it provides some sour taste to this menu (which is contrast to the oily taste from the streaky pork. Kang Hung Ley is known for not only its delicious flavour, but also its nutrition richness of Calcium, Phosphorus, Beta-carotene , as well as Vitamin B2 (riboflavin).
