I am about to mention to you about one Thai Culture & Tradition of making one type of snack called 'Kaow Mao' or 'Pounded Unripe Rice' or 'Shredded Rice Grain'. For Thais, you might know that it's an old time snack which was established from the past till now. You might know or see it when it's finished as various type of snack but I bet not all of you know how Kaow Mao was made.
Most of Kaow Mao are made in North-East Region of Thailand. This is because it's where we grow rice which Kaow Mao is made from one type of Sticky Rice -- the young one since it still remain the green layer outside (instead of brown one that we normally see). Therefore, most of household must have at least one wooden mortar to crush the rice.
