Super video! It makes me want to be there. I've had this prepared with grilled beef in the U.S. Never thought of using pork.

When I lived there the meat was always cooked. In Kalasin and Yasothorn all of the vendors grilled the meat over coals and then mixed all of the ingredients together. Either way this is one of my all time favorite Thai dishes.

The best NomToks Ive ever had (in SE asia and the US )used a higher quality beef, seared until cooked- with a fair bit of raw in the middle...Sliced fairly thinly, and then added to the rest of the ingrediants after they are cooked. The beef in Thailand is not of the best quality, and actually not often found in many places. (Beef/ Cattle are expensive, slow growing ). Often in Thailand the beef was usually fried.

I am half Thai and my mom is a Thai chef and I've never seen this dish served with raw meat. I'm sure there are places in Thailand that offer it, but that would definitely not be traditional. The "remaining ingredients" are for a sauce that is served on the side, so each person can add as little or as much as they like (usually it's quite spicy).
