Minced pork and fat are mixed with cooked rice, garlic, salt and pepper, stuffed into pig intestine and tied into links. The links hang at room temperature for 2–3 days while lactic bacteria sour them, and they are grilled before eating.

At a glance
Minced pork and fat are mixed with cooked rice, garlic, salt and pepper, stuffed into pig intestine and tied into links. The links hang at room temperature for 2–3 days while lactic bacteria sour them, and they are grilled before eating. Made in 4 steps over 2 days – 3 days. The longest step, hang at room temperature to sour, takes 2–3 days (JIRCAS 1995) and runs at 30–34 °C (Sorapukdee S 2019). Lactic acid bacteria and Lactobacillus spp. and Streptococcus faecalis do most of the fermenting.
Sai krok Isan has much more fat than naem (30 % fat or less in the finished sausage against 8 % or less) and is stuffed into hog casing and hung, while naem is lean pork with rind packed tight in plastic or leaves.
Reduced-fat sausage with konjac gelIn one study, swapping half the back fat (15 % of the mix) for konjac gel cut fat by 46 % and scored higher than the control for sourness and overall acceptability.
Safety
In one study the pH fell to about 4.4–4.9 within 3 days, but water activity stayed near 0.97–0.98, so the acid is the main hurdle. In that study, whose sausages held nitrite, S. aureus was at 1–2 log CFU/g in the fresh mix. Salmonella, S. aureus and E. coli were below detection in all finished products tested; that does not cover a home batch, and the paper reports no toxin test. The 15 g/kg dose suits only a curing salt of 0.90 % sodium nitrite, which the paper calls prague powder. Many commercial cures hold 6.25 % nitrite, about seven times as much, so the same weight of one would be an overdose, and nitrite overdoses can be harmful. Work out the dose for the cure in hand. Grill the sausage right through, to at least 71 °C for ground meat. Curing, drying or smoking alone does not reliably kill Trichinella worms in pork. Washington State University Extension warns, of dry sausages, that S. aureus toxin can form if fermentation is not rigidly controlled, and its semi-dry method calls for a starter culture and careful temperature control. These links hang at about 32 °C, and the recipe lists no starter culture. No source we read says grilling removes that toxin.
Hazards the sources name: Salmonella spp., S. aureus and E. coli (below detection in all finished products tested in one study; S. aureus was at 1–2 log CFU/g in the fresh mix).
Sorapukdee and colleagues describe it as a traditional fermented sausage originating in northeastern Thailand and now widely eaten in various parts of Thailand.
