Mr Ta – a Mekong fisherman – takes Luke out onto the river where they pull in a 10-kilogram fish for Mr Ta’s special Tom Yum recipe. Luke gets muddy catching frogs to cook-up for the hard working rice farmers’ lunch. Under the watchful eye of Yoda – a young man from a Lahu village – Luke chops down a bamboo tree to use as a cooking utensil for his pork dish.
