Bring an essential ingredient of Northern Thai cooking to your kitchen with UNCLEJUM Dried Red Cotton Tree Flower (Dok Ngiew).
Known in Thailand as Dok Ngiew (ดอกงิ้ว), dried red cotton tree flower is traditionally used in Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao, the rich and savory Northern Thai noodle soup famous in Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand.
Once soaked and softened, the dried flowers develop a distinctive soft, pleasantly chewy texture and absorb the flavors of the broth while cooking—one of the characteristics that makes Nam Ngiao unique.
