“Nong Wua” is a traditional Isan dish made from the cow’s placenta, which is available only after a cow gives birth.
It has a soft, slightly chewy texture and a distinctive flavor, so it is usually cooked with herbs to reduce its strong smell.
It can be prepared in various ways, such as spicy Isan-style soup, steaming, boiling, grilling, or served with spicy dipping sauce.
People enjoy it not only for its taste but also because it is rare and closely connected to traditional Isan rural culture.
