The appearance of the pizza with Hang Lay Curry is a unique culinary innovation at Aunt Pee Park's restaurant, which has adapted the original recipe of the northern Hang Lay Curry into this delightful dish. According to Thai News Agency, the taste of this pizza is extraordinary and has become a favorite among locals. Many people have fallen in love with it since "Hang Lay Curry" was chosen as the best local food of Lampang Province under the "1 Province, 1 Menu, Honoring Local Food" initiative. It was voted as the number one menu with a missing taste, known as "The Lost Taste," representing the local food of Lampang Province for the year 2024. Hang Lay Curry is renowned as one of the most popular northern dishes in Thailand. Although the dish is not difficult to make, it requires a lengthy preparati on process and numerous ingredients. Traditionally, pork belly is marinated with Hang Lay powder and simmered with curry paste to infuse the flavors into the meat. The result is tender pork with a perfectly balanced aroma of spices. Phi Nu and Pa Pia, the chef and creator of this original Hang Lay curry recipe, have shared their culinary secrets, revealing the ingredients and method without reservation. They opt for boneless pork leg instead of pork belly, which results in softer, less oily meat. After marinating for at least half an hour, or overnight for larger quantities, the pork is simmered for about two hours until tender. The recipe involves more than ten ingredients, ensuring a rich and flavorful curry. For the pizza, the chef cuts the Hang Lay curry into small pieces and combines it with the curry paste. The mixture is spread over thin, crispy pizza dough, which is then baked until puffed. The tender pork and curry are enhanced with a sprinkle of cheese, which melts in the oven. The pizza is then s liced into six pieces and served. Customers rave about the fragrant curry paste and slightly salty cheese, describing the dish as delicious in a unique way. The restaurant, located near the Ban Fon Market in Tambon Chomphu, Amphoe Mueang, Lampang Province, has successfully married traditional local flavors with a modern twist, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
