Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Nam tok mu (Lao: ໝູນໍ້າຕົກ; Thai: น้ำตกหมู, pronounced [nám tòk mǔː]) is one type of Lao and Thai salad. It is a popular food native to Laos and northeast Thailand (Isan). It is made from grilled pork that is cut into thin pieces and flavored with chili powder, chopped shallots, ground roasted rice, lime juice, herbs, and fish sauce. It tastes sour, salty, and spicy like larb. The ingredients of nam tok mu can be found locally in Thailand and it is generally inexpensive. In Lao cuisine, the use of the Lao fish sauce padaek adds to mu nam tok a pungent taste. However, unlike beef nam tok (ping sin nam tok), which is made with sliced undercooked or cooked beef, the meat in mu nam tok is usually cooked due to perceived health risk potential associated with pork meat.[1]
