What is Lao food?
Lao food is a vibrant, flavorful cuisine from Laos, a landlocked Southeast Asian country with lush landscapes and rich cultural traditions. Meals are typically served family-style, reflecting the communal spirit of Lao culture, and many dishes are enjoyed with the hands. Lao cooking emphasizes fresh herbs, bold spices, and balanced flavors of sour, spicy, salty, and umami. Dishes often feature ingredients like lemongrass, galangal, lime, and tamarind, with sticky rice as a staple, paired with grilled meats, aromatic stews, and spicy dips.
