Sin Savanh (Lao Heavenly Beef Jerky) 500g bag

Sin Savanh, also known as Lao Heavenly Beef Jerky, is a delightful Lao snack that combines sweet and savory flavors. Let me share some details about this mouthwatering treat:

1. Ingredients:

   • Sin Savanh is typically made from top of round beef.
   • The marinade includes a blend of flavors:
     • Garlic
     • Sesame seeds
     • White pepper
     • Galangal powder
     • Seasoning sauce
     • Salt
     • Sugar
     • MSG
   • The combination of these ingredients gives the jerky its unique taste.

2. Preparation Steps:

   • Here’s how you can make Sin Savanh:
     1. Cut the meat: Slice the beef into thin pieces.
     2. Prepare the garlic mixture: Mince garlic, then smash it and mix it with water and seasoning sauce.
     3. Combine with meat: Add the garlic mixture to the meat and mix well. Then add the dry seasonings (sesame seeds, white pepper, galangal powder, salt, sugar, and MSG).
     4. Marinate: Let the meat marinate for about 1 hour.
     5. Dehydrate: Place the marinated meat in a food dehydrator and dehydrate it for approximately 4 hours.
     6. Pan-fry: Heat a pan with oil on low heat. Cook each side of the beef slices for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, pressing down with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
     7. Enjoy: Sin Savanh is perfect as a snack or paired with sticky rice and other Lao dishes.

3. Name Origins:

   • “Sin” means meat in Lao, and “Savanh” means heaven. So, Sin Savanh translates to “heavenly meat,” which aptly describes the deliciousness of this jerky.

4. Pairing:

   • Sin Savanh is great with Beer Lao or as a quick protein-packed snack.
   • For an authentic experience, enjoy it alongside sticky rice and other Lao favorites.

5. Pan-Fry the Jerky:

   • Heat a pan with oil over low heat.
   • Add the beef slices to the pan, making sure they don’t overlap.
   • Cook each side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, pressing down with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
   • The jerky should turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Next time you’re craving a flavorful and satisfying snack, consider indulging in some Sin Savanh! 

Remember, Sin Savanh is not just a snack; it’s a taste of Laos.
