Khanom La is a sweet treat comprised of fine threads of batter, woven like a thin mat in the wok. It is made by sprinkling batter quickly over the surface of a heated wok through the many tiny holes etched into the bottom of a metal tin. The big sheet of cooked woven threads is then removed from the wok skillfully with the aid of a stick and then folded.
