That's what my friend that makes this calls it. I don't know what it's called in Thai, but it's sure as hell hot as hell... I love Asian food- all the fiery spices and interesting combos of ingredients that you just don't get from the South or Midwest. I think I developed a penchant for it long ago, as my bro is from Korea, but it's only been in the last decade or so that I've really branched out and learned to make a lot of it. Enjoy!
