Khorisa Pork Fry is a magnifique and legendary fiery dish from the tribal kitchens of Assam. It features succulent pieces of pork slow-cooked and then stir-fried with Khorisa, which is traditionally fermented bamboo shoots. This dish is a symbol of the region's love for unique fermented ingredients that provide an intense, sharp tang to the rich meat. The aroma of the fermented bamboo is incredibly bold and perfectly cuts through the natural fat of the pork. It is an honest and high-quality representation of the forest-based culinary soul of the Northeast. I recommend serving it warm as a premium appetizer or with a mound of steamed sticky rice.

Tips & Secrets

  • The absolute secret to a great fry is letting the pork cook in its own fat before adding the Khorisa.
  • Always use mustard oil for the authentic smoky Northeast flavor profile; it complements the fermented bamboo perfectly.
  • If you want a sharper taste, use the liquid from the fermented bamboo shoot container along with the shreds.
