Thai Name: Sai Krok Isan (ไส้กรอกอีสาน)
Origins: Sai Krok Isan is one of the most iconic and culturally significant street foods to come out of Thailand’s northeastern Isan region — a dish so deeply embedded in the daily food life of northeastern Thailand that it is impossible to walk through an Isan market, roadside village or night bazaar without encountering the unmistakable aroma of fermented pork sausages sizzling over charcoal. The fermentation process that defines Sai Krok Isan is ancient and completely distinctive — minced pork, sticky rice and garlic are mixed and left to ferment naturally for two to four days, during which the sticky rice acts as a fermentation agent and the mixture develops the deep sour tang, rich funky aroma and complex layered flavour that no unfermented sausage can replicate. The result is a sausage unlike anything found elsewhere in world cuisine — juicy and slightly chewy inside from the sticky rice, perfectly caramelised and smoky outside from the charcoal grill, and carrying that characteristic Isan sourness that is simultaneously challenging on first encounter and completely addictive from the second bite onward. Served with fresh ginger, raw garlic and chilli — the traditional accompaniments that cut through the richness of the sausage and balance its deep, funky character — Sai Krok Isan is a dish that tells the story of Isan food culture more completely and more honestly than almost any other.
Our Version: Sireeya sources her Sai Krok Isan directly from Thailand — and this is one of the few dishes on the menu that she has chosen not to make herself. Sai Krok Isan is a product of a specific fermentation tradition, a specific regional knowledge and a specific set of conditions that belong to the Isan region of Thailand — and Sireeya’s commitment to authenticity means she would rather bring the genuine article from Thailand than produce an approximation in Burton-on-Trent. Offering Sai Krok Isan at Sireeya’s is her way of sharing a piece of Thai street food culture that she loves and misses — the same feeling of standing at a roadside stall in Isan, eating fermented sausage straight off the skewer with ginger, garlic and chilli, that she wants every customer to be able to experience without boarding a plane.
What You Get: Authentic Thai Sai Krok Isan fermented pork sausages sourced directly from Thailand, grilled to order and served on the skewer with fresh ginger, raw garlic and chilli.
Sai Krok Isan is bold, funky and deeply characterful — here’s what our customers love ordering alongside it to build a complete and authentically Thai meal rooted in the Isan tradition.
🍚 Thai Sticky Rice
The single most essential and authentically Isan pairing for Sai Krok Isan — a combination so deeply embedded in northeastern Thai food culture that ordering one without the other is almost unthinkable in the region where this sausage comes from. Sticky rice is the natural companion to every Isan dish of significance and its gentle, glutinous neutrality is the perfect foil for the deep sour tang and rich funky character of the fermented sausage — softening each mouthful and providing the essential grounding base that allows the full complexity of the Sai Krok Isan flavour to reveal itself gradually and completely. Roll the sticky rice in your fingers, press it against the sausage and eat them together — exactly as they have been eaten at Isan roadside stalls for generations.
🥗 Som Tam Thai
The most authentically Isan pairing on the entire menu and one that any Thai food lover with knowledge of northeastern cuisine will recognise immediately as the correct and obvious companion to Sai Krok Isan. Som Tam Thai — vibrant, tangy green papaya salad with fresh chilli, lime, roasted peanuts and tomatoes — comes from exactly the same Isan culinary tradition as the fermented sausage and the two are eaten together constantly across northeastern Thailand. The sharp, acidic freshness of the Som Tam cuts directly through the rich, funky depth of the Sai Krok Isan — the lime and chilli of the salad echoing the fresh ginger and chilli served alongside the sausage and creating a meal that is completely and unapologetically rooted in the most distinctive regional food culture in all of Thailand.
🍗 Moo Ping
A pairing that brings two of Thailand’s most beloved street food dishes together on the same table — and one that creates the closest thing to an authentic Thai street market eating — Sireeya’s handmade sweet glazed pork skewers grilled to order with a caramelised marinade — shares the same grilled, smoky character as Sai Krok Isan while expressing a completely different flavour personality — sweet and caramelised where the fermented sausage is sour and funky, gentle where the Isan sausage is bold and challenging. Together they create a contrast that is exciting, satisfying and completely Thai in spirit — two skewered dishes from different traditions of Thai cooking sharing a plate and making each other taste better for the company.
🌿 Larb
A pairing of the three great pillars of Isan cuisine — Sai Krok Isan, Som Tam and Larb are the dishes that define northeastern Thai food culture more than any others, and bringing two of them together on the same table with sticky rice creates a meal that feels genuinely like a journey to the Isan region rather than simply an order from a Thai takeaway in Burton-on-Trent. Larb’s fierce combination of finely chopped chicken or pork with shallots, mint, dried chilli, lime juice and fragrant toasted rice shares the same bold, herb-forward Isan flavour philosophy as the fermented sausage — and together they give customers who want to understand what Isan food actually tastes like the most honest and complete answer available on the menu.
