I think jeow som is one of those sauces that never expire because it has a high concentration of fish sauce which means it has a lot of salt in there. Since it does have fresh herbs in this version, for the freshest tasting sauce, it will be best to enjoy within 3 weeks. After that amount of days, toss it if you see the herbs turning dark and mushy, it smells unpleasant, and you see mold or strange floating particles.

Super Crunchy Eggroll Tips Saeng Douangdara 2025-02-18 | #shorts #eggrolls #friedfoods #friedrecipe #laofood #crunchyasmr #LaoCuisine #laofood #laotianfood #laos #lao #AsianCuisine Super crunchy egg rolls…these are the two secrets you need to know. First, make sure your filling isn’t too wet when wrapping. I used a colander to put my filling in so the liquid can drip out before wrapping it. Excess moisture can weaken the wrappers, causing them to tear before they even hit the oil. Second, fry at the right temperature—350°F—and avoid overcrowding the pan. Adding too many egg rolls at once will drop the oil temperature too quickly, leading to greasy, soft rolls instead of a crispy crunch. Keep these tips in mind, so next time you make egg rolls, they will be Full written recipe here: saengskitchen.com/laorecipes/eggrollsDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more culinary journeys and hidden gems around the world! 🌟Support by subscribing to my channel and pressing the bell button to get notified of all my new recipes!

I love exploring these dishes because each time, I discover something new about Lao cuisine. This book is more than just a collection of recipes—it captures the history, place, and traditions of the Lao community. First published in 1981, it remains a cornerstone of Lao culinary heritage as the first written Lao cookbook.In this new series, I’m bringing these recipes to life and making them more accessible. Since the original was written in its time, I’m adapting it to help with sourcing ingredients, providing precise measurements, and fine-tuning flavors. The first recipe is Kai Keng Khao Poon Chin | Hot Chicken Soup with Chinese Vermicelli.

In Part 7, we focus on jeow som, a beloved Lao sour dipping sauce made with bird's eye chili peppers, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and cilantro. This versatile sauce complements a variety of dishes, including sticky rice, steak, and seafood. Its popularity is so widespread that people often bring it along when visiting friends or even when dining out at restaurants. This sauce, like many others in Lao cuisine, is traditionally enjoyed with sticky rice while eating at a phakhao—a low-standing table. Sticky rice is placed at the center, surrounded by an array of salads, dips, stews, and fresh herbs. Guests take turns grabbing sticky rice with their hands, using it as a vehicle to scoop up and enjoy the other dishes. Eating with your hands holds deep cultural significance in Lao traditions. It fosters an intimate connection with the food and reflects the collectivistic values of Lao culture, emphasizing support, sharing, and togetherness.

In Part 6, we focus on khanom nap, a beloved Lao dessert made from sticky rice and coconut, often wrapped in banana leaves to form small triangles. However, making khanom nap can be quite involved. Preparing and cleaning the banana leaves requires teamwork, and shaping the perfect triangles feels like an edible art project. Like many Lao dishes, this recipe has been passed down orally, as part of a larger tradition where communities teach and learn through participation in celebrations, storytelling, and communal cooking. It’s an honor to carry on this tradition, having learned variations from Lao families around the world, each with their own unique spin. I’m excited to continue sharing these recipes through my live cooking sessions with Laos in the House in Philadelphia. Join me to learn khanom nap firsthand, as some details just can’t be captured in a video.Grab your tickets at: laosinthehouse.com/chef-saeng-in-philly-2024-cooking-demo-meet-greet Written khanom nap recipe: saengskitchen.com/laorecipes/khanomnap Khanom nap Youtube tutorial: youtu.be/8t7kMCU6Lu0?si=dC5TC6icvT88_IHQ Connect with Me:👉 Subscribe for more food and travel adventures!👉 Follow me on Instagram👉 Check out my blogDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more culinary journeys and hidden gems around the world! 🌟Support by subscribing to my channel and pressing the bell button to get notified of all my new recipes!

How to make Homemade Spam Saeng Douangdara 2024-08-29 | #shorts #laofood #laocuisine #laospam #spam #spammusubi #stickyrice #easyrecipe #musubi #asianrecipe #laofoodmovement How to make homemade spam (Lao style) and then turn it into a musubi using @jeanelleats new MyMusubi mold. If you could create your own SPAM flavor, what would it be? Mine would be a Lao-inspired version, with flavors similar to the popular Lao sausages. This inspired me to make a Lao Musubi, using sticky rice as the base. For the "Lao SPAM," I mixed ground pork with aromatics, padaek, and Lao Spices BBQ blend, then processed it into a sticky consistency. Using a musubi mold created by Jeanelle Eats, I shaped the mixture. I love the mold's simple yet thoughtful design, with a sturdy, colorful press, a see-through mold, and a sharp base for cutting.After wrapping the mixture in foil, I steamed it, then sliced it into thin strips and lightly fried them. Assembling the musubi was the easiest and most fun part—the mold made it perfect for pressing the sticky rice, spreading on spicy jeow bong, and topping it with the Lao SPAM. Make sure to grab one of these musubi molds before they sell out, available at jeanelleats.com.Lao Musubi recipe here: saengskitchen.com/laorecipes/homemade-spam-lao-styleMyMusubi mold available here: mymusubi.jeanelleats.comConnect with Me:👉 Subscribe for more food and travel adventures!👉 Follow me on Instagram👉 Check out my blogDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more culinary journeys and hidden gems around the world! 🌟Support by subscribing to my channel and pressing the bell button to get notified of all my new recipes!

Step 1 if you’re gonna call a dish by its original name, make sure it actually includes most of the ingredients. Over half of what you’re using doesn’t belong in nam Khao.

Girl Its giving desperate. Step 3 Give credit where it's due—to the country, the people, and even better, the chef or creator who inspired you. We know you didn't just wake up and magically think of nam khao. Girl LOL. And step 4 If you're going to showcase a cultural dish, why not make it authentically, or just make whatever you want without sharing it publicly?

Burmese Food Is Not Talked About Enough Saeng Douangdara 2024-08-13 | #shorts #burmesefood #noodles #burma #asianfood Burmese food is not talked about enough so I got a whole table full of Burmese dishes I’ve never had before. I was told about this Burmese food event that sold many traditional and uncommon Burmese foods so I had to check it out. As I entered the event, it reminded me a lot of the Lao community gatherings with aunties selling the most delicious foods that you can only find at the temple. One of the unique dishes was this salad made from crumbling up shrimp vegetable fritters and tossing the salad with a red dressing. I also got the popular tofu salad and a Burmese pizza covered with a type of bean and herbs. My favorite dish was nan gyi thoke and its a thick noodle salad mixed with chicken curry, chili oil, chickpea flour, herbs, and a squeeze of lemon. What are your favorite Burmese dishes?

In part 5, let's explore the delicious Lao sausage (sai oua) and how this dish, along with other traditional Lao foods, arrived in the US. This chapter of history is dark, as it is closely tied to the Vietnam War. Concurrently, the American Secret War involved bombing campaigns that dropped over 2.5 million tons of ordnance on Laos from 1964 to 1973. My family is among the refugee families that fled to the United States. To learn more about this history and discover ways to help, check out the organizations listed on my website or here:Legacies of War : an educational and advocacy organization working to address the on-going impact of the American wars in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.Cope Laos : their mission is to help people with mobility-related disabilities move on by supporting access to physical rehabilitation services in Laos. This organization was in part due to the increasing number of casualties from unexploded ordnance from bombs dropped on Laos during the Secret War. MAG Laos : MAG has worked in Laos since 1994.
