Story of Esan
Esan is Northeastern region of Thailand. Also, it's Thailand's largest region, located on the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River (along the Laos–Thailand border)
​
Esan food has elements most in common with Laos and is somewhat distinct from central Thai cuisine. The most obvious difference is the consumption of sticky rice rather than non-sticky long-grain rice in central Thai cuisine.
​
Esan food is health-friendly food. Most of Esan dishes are comprised of fresh mixed vegetables, lean meats and natural spices such as chili peppers, basil leaves or dill as ingredients
