I had Crying Tiger for dinner! 😭 🐅
Don’t worry—it’s not tiger meat 😅 It’s marinated skirt steak, usually char-grilled, but I did my version pan-seared.
Crying Tiger (เสือร้องไห้ - Suea Rong Hai) comes from Northeastern Thailand (Isaan), where the food is all about big, bold, spicy, and sour flavors that go perfectly with sticky rice. I also made a spicy chicken lemongrass soup to round things out.
But why the name Crying Tiger? Some say the meat is so delicious it could make a tiger cry for more. Others say a tiger would cry if you took it away. Either way, it’s one of those dishes that’s simple but sooo satisfying.
