Considered the national dish. It is a salad of minced meat (chicken, pork, beef or fish) seasoned with lime juice, fish sauce, toasted rice powder ('khao khoua') and a generous amount of fresh herbs such as mint and cilantro. It is spicy, sour and very aromatic.
The Laotian version of this Southeast Asian dish is particularly intense. The green papaya is crushed in a mortar with chilies, garlic, lime, and the characteristic and powerful fermented fish sauce ('padaek'), which gives it a stronger and saltier flavor than its Thai counterpart.
Fresh river fish marinated with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, chillies and other spices, wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed. The result is an incredibly tender, moist and flavorful fish.
A rustic and very aromatic pork sausage, generously seasoned with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves and chillies. It is grilled and often served as an appetizer with sticky rice.
Very different from the famous Chiang Mai version. The Luang Prabang version is a wide rice noodle soup with a clear pork broth, topped with a ragout sauce of minced pork, tomato and fermented soybeans. It is less creamy but very tasty.
A spicy and slightly bitter stew, originally from Luang Prabang. It is made with meat (traditionally buffalo), eggplant, green beans and the secret ingredient, 'sa kan', a woody vine that gives it a spicy and numbing flavour.
