Stalls dot the streets in major cities like Bangkok but the best version of this famous Thai street food I found was in Lumnaria, in Lopburi province. At that stall, the jovial used a large wok to make giant batches for her clamoring fans. She started by combining small strips of chicken, shrimp or other meat with the garlic in the first stage of the stir-fry. This was counter-intuitive, since many cooks fry aromatics alone first. Add chicken, shrimp or other meat to this dish if you wish.<
