5 Authentic Lao Dishes From A Lao Chef

[@nickandhelmi]

Lao food is so underrated but actually packed with so much flavour 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@briannagrapes8549]

It’s so nice seeing Lao food being brought to light 😭I grew up eating these dishes made by my grandmother and there’s nothing better

[@mokie0105]

I am Laotian American and grew up with these foods as well

[@relaxationnapz2444]

same here

[@JJKV1Editor0]

Did anyone else's mouth start watering during the thum makhoong!

[@nubberstix279]

lime, fish sauce, and unripe papaya yes it most certainly did.

[@drewdavies1872]

If you know, you know

[@kartrezouthamonty213]

Watchu know about thum makhoong ? 👀🔥

[@LailaniNorn]

i love laos food!!! I’m part laos and grew up eating all this with my mom. miss her spicy thummakhong so much!

[@mitchrapp9727]

Yes about time! My dad is from Luang Prabang and my mom is from Vientiane. I’m glad I was able to visit prior to COVID-19.

[@kettle_chips]

My mom is also from Vientiane but my dad is from Pakse

[@vivotk5488]

ມີເວລາກະມາຢ້ຽມຢາມປະເທດລາວອີກເດີ້🎉

[@gheed7113]

Cool.. I am Lao, I love Lai food so much !! Keep showing own beautiful Lao food to the world!

[@Rythm123]

Yes!! I’m Hmong so I DEFINITELY grew up with my mom cooking a lot of these dishes!

[@evelyngrace9954]

Oh lord.... my taste buds want to explode.. I’m Cambodian and these foods are very similar! So delicious

[@taldishman5848]

So much similarity to Thai food - which is why I love going to Laos restaurants! Reminds me so much of home on Thailand!

[@paulchantharyvong6367]

Sa bai dee Khao jee is a laung pabang breakfast, that my mom eats all the time with the jel bong. An yes their is a few types of jet bong also too. Great video Seo

[@kettle_chips]

Yeeeeeees. My mom is from Vientiane and my dad is from Pakse. I am glad that I got to visit both of those places before the virus started

[@kaz3000]

Raw beef laab is definitely #1 for me. My late father learned to make this from his Lao friend. Growing up, we (siblings) loved it, raw and all with sticky rice.

[@ttiiffiinnyy]

I love Lao food! I’m an Asian American with my family descending from Laos. Makes me think of my family and home cooked meals

[@karachanh34]

You remind me of an Asian version of chef Alton Brown with how informative you are in the ingredients and process! I'm laotian raised by my grandmother (and my appreciation for her cooking came later in life unfortunately) so your videos help a lot in recreating her dishes. Thank you! 🙏❤

[@LaoGrlYaoMing]

I’m sooo happy they did this ❤️

[@jacksanani8050]

I love Lao foods it's agressive like you said, awesome job.

[@jackfc5239]

I'm proud to be Laotian, and Lao food is bussin i recommend it! 👍

[@bandongzki]

im Filipino but i love these kind of foods.. one of the best food is the tam mak hoong and the perfect padaek ! must try....

[@ipoyrasabaru4987]

6 month in lao wow amazing food

[@virunee]

Love this! My parents are Lao but me and my brother were born and grew up in the UK where we were bought up on this food. Makes me miss my mums food so much! I've never had or heard of Khao Jee before in the way in your video. To me Khao Jee is Lao for 'bread'

[@phetindra8216]

In Laos you can have it everywhere in some street stalls, but only grilled on open fire. Khao Jee has two meanings, Khao - rice / Jee - grill, and "bread". I had never seen fried ones like these. Should be Khao Jeune then...

[@beingboomlovinglife]

thanks for sharing my hometown traditions !! he said everything with so much passion and savanakhet tongue💕

[@beatleslover8519]

So happy to see lao culture being spread around, it is not a well known culture.

[@bandongzki]

I love the way you feature your favorite food in Laos.. lot of Lao they missed already the culture food place and im trying to feature also....

[@sammybabi]

This all sound so good. I hope to taste these one day

[@Vansouk-z2s]

[@ruiFF77]

Lao food is my favorite, I'm so glad to have found your channel! 🙏

[@Rico510-j3l]

Lao som tam is the best, that fishy/ sour and spicy hit different.

[@bounna1557]

Lao food is so good!! And often healthy!! Yep sticky rice, Khaow Niao, is a staple! So good with spicy sauce too (if you don't necessarily eat fish or meat)❤❤❤

[@cynthiatan8891]

Papaya salad😍😭 I miss eating lao food. I had lao roommates when I was in college.

[@conniefry3321]

Omg!! Love Lao food😊I'm picture of myself make a ball of khao neow in my hand and dipping in papaya salad padeak dressing on the video with you. This is #1 dish of Laos people y'all don't wanna miss😍😍😍

[@chandanymrt]

[@christinaviravong4345]

Thank you for sharing I love Lao food. So proud to be Laotian . And thank you so much for sharing and letting the world know what Lao food is.

[@annc144]

This vid brings back memories of childhood! My aunt would always make Khao Jee and Nam Khao for the Fourth of July. Family parties aren't complete without Thum Mak Hoong. My grandma makes Gaeng Nor Mai at least once a month, but I don't like bamboo shoots, so I usually don't eat it. I haven't tried Larb Diip, but it sounds interesting. Is Thom Khem similar to Gai Palo? My family is ethnically Chinese, but my parents and grandparents lived in Laos and Thailand before coming to the states, so I get my foods and cultures mixed up sometimes.

[@DS11110]

Lol I just wrote an essay explaining my ethnicity and culture in the comment section. Plus Asian American representation 🤣 Thanks for sharing! It's cool to read!

[@tommynouansacksy8044]

my stomach rumbled so loudly watching this 😂

[@sophiaitalia6319]

Props to this my X is Lao I learned to cook these dishes so delicious and satisfying

[@leannep.2022]

[@bayareayackem100]

Spot on with that 5 real lao food

[@amorporvida7386]

The sticky rice paddies lol the lao lady I work with call it lao pizza hahaha I love it nd I love all lao food.. my son is half lao

[@Michelle-xx5ye]

I just learned what Laos was a year ago! I find it amazing how many cultures there are!

[@mafiaboy87]

Michelle welcome to the world, I guess. There’s tons to explore and don’t be mislead by the generalisation of ‘asian’, ‘middle eastern’ or even a single term that covers an entire country. Many regions have their own unique culture and cuisines

[@lsoviravong]

Great video! So nostalgic to me!!

[@SaengsKitchen]

Thanks!

[@khampengsybounheuang8544]

I live in laos im in province of ຊຽງຂວາງ

Love it.. Made them...all those dishes are delicious.

[@michellelinTV]

You're so graceful in the way you eat

[@MrVinceI.0081]

Thanks for sharing priceless video, Saeng. I miss our homeland.

[@Nga-1984]

Lao's papaya salad are very similar to what I've ate in vietnam, but we eat them with white rice. I love Laos food more than Thai, Thai are on the sweet side, Lao's food are more flavorful and spicy.🤤🤤

[@mua_jazlyn6128]

I love all these dishess😭🔥 my mouth is watering 😫

[@josefinegustafsson4364]

I’m Half thai and swedish and my mom is from chun buri But she Can Cook lao Food and I absolutely love it!! Especially spicy food

[@jasminebanyen]

Josefine Gustafsson It isn’t actually just ‘Lao food’. This food pretty much belongs to Thailand, Lao, Cambodia etc...

[@getitright5405]

Jasmine Banyen shut up.

[@tommygun7702]

Jasmine Banyen but mostly laotian food

[@gracedara8183]

Esan Thai/Lao calls Lao food theirs because Esan is Lao root. Sorry, your Thai government don't want you to know so it isn't written in your history books because Thai government fear of retaliate.

[@sssf85k]

​@@gracedara8183 Hear hear! The Thaification system was an aggressive campaign in the Isaan region from the start of the 20th century. Majority of them are educated but their arrogance is what makes them backwards.

[@user1fja98dnaiid]

Your khao jee is so perfect

[@csruehle0507]

YAAY @saengdouangdara!! This is so 🔥🥰🥳🤩🍻🍾👏👏👏

[@amorporvida7386]

[@originalbreeds3604]

[@illicitpyro]

Wow didn’t know laos had the carmalized egg dish , in khmer cuisine we have a very similar dish!

[@djgiermann8826]

[@AsiaConley]

[@ikeokeo]

[@orlada]

I love my Lao foods 🇱🇦 thanks for sharing 😍

[@yadapruksachatkun9361]

Wow, I didn't realize how similar Thai and Laos cuisine is (and also the overlap in vocabulary between the two languages)!

[@nahaidiew2991]

Don't be surprised . We used to be the same country in China " Sip Song Pana "

[@DS11110]

​@@nahaidiew2991 lol it's like many ethnicities came from there. Taidam, Hmong, and Tibetans except no land of their own anymore..

[@nubberstix279]

your grandmother and mom must be proud.

[@pnutty22]

Sap Sap!!! The food looks soo delish

[@joyous8248]

[@Gamegurlz94]

That egg dish is my favorite

[@lienha2133]

OMG M craving for lao food.

[@powk.534]

Sticky rice and salt..... classic 😍

[@toonbeme]

when I visited Lao family in the US, they were complaining i am not Lao enough for not able to eat spicy food. and I was like, even in Laos, we don't eat that much spicy!!!!!

[@Stryker-ye7wn]

One of the only reason why buzzfeed is still afloat

[@classical7]

Miss my best friend so searched YT for some Lao recipes and found this gem. 🤗

[@christynakc]

Lao food is satisfying

[@chrisgeroleto2211]

OMG so goooooood yummmm, I love to cook Lao food but I cant find Padaek anywhere.. I'm located in Germany and it's quite a pain to find good ingredients like this sometimes. T_T

[@gamingwithnani4590]

[@kettle_chips]

Hahaha, I can relate to the part where he talks about the people who don't know how to eat sticky rice. All you gotta do is use your hands people!!!

[@gracedara8183]

I have seen people eating both hot dog and hamburger with fork and knife trying to look classy. Such an eye sore and ridiculous. 🤣😂

[@thepinoyrice]

I barely realized that I live nearby the only Laotian restaurant in Los Angeles. I hope they have these dishes~

[@onestopshop6931]

[@thepinoyrice]

[@onestopshop6931]

[@cancersurvivorShySea]

[@raindomkh]

I love every dish you brought up in the video. I only could wish that this Covid-19 thingy will be over so that I could hop in a car driving all the way from Phnom Penh to Champasak just for that Kaeng Nor Mai.

[@OliveVlog]

I love this as a Laotian American to see our national dishes. I am a vegan and working to veganize a lot of my favorite Laotian dishes
