  1. This is basically a northeastern Thai dish called Nam Tok (น้ำตก).  It's usually made with small beef slices or smaller strips.  (If the meat is ground/minced, there is another Thai name but I forgot what that is).  Chef R. doesn't claim this is a Thai dish, but "something good you can make", so I think it's OK to use ground/minced beef and include pork.  I hope people watch, make, and enjoy this.

  2. It is never as easy as how he does it unless you're experienced. I tried his way of cooking steak, which isn't suppose to be hard but it can be. Well, it wasn't but my folks do not like any red coloring on the meat so I learned to improvise and dump it into an oven after getting medium-rare before outside of the steak begins to burn. (More butter, less likely to burn butter acts as an insulator to gradually heat the meat evenly)

    I think I'll struggle trying to make the meat crispy. I'd probably add mushroom and maybe some garlic; garlic makes the meat less greasy and less heavy generally… and they're good for you. 

  3. How does one get the mince beef to stay crispy during cooking ( don't use the minced pork out of preference either)?  Even on a high heat (cooking on gas), all the fatty juices start to seep out after say a minute and all the remaining mince starts to boil, turning grey, NOT crispy.  What's the "trick" to keep it crispy?

    Comment below suggests using non-stick pan but does that really solve the problem?  Do not like to cook in stick ever myself.

  4. Every time I cook this it ends up dry and charred?  I use a scanpan on hot heat no matter what I try I throw the mince in it sears nicely at first but after 30 or so seconds or so in the pan it ALWAYS drops temp and stews and I watch all the juices cook out of the mince. It's a good quality cast iron pan. I don't get it are the juices meant to cook out of the mince or be sealed inside the meat? Maybe I have the pan too hot?
