FYI Hi Guys, Laab is the national dish of Laos (don't let other people claim it :), and yet some of us do not know the meaning of "Laab". So, just so you know I would like to tell you a short story that my grandmother told me about the "Laab Dish" :). Laab does not mean "to mince". To mince is called "fuk" in Laos. This is why we say "Fuk Laab = Mince the meat for a Laab dish" or "Maa Fuk Laab Choi Dae = Please come and help me mince the meat for the Laab". Laab comes from the Lao word "Choke Laab" aka "Choke Dee" which means "Luck or fortune" in English. We, the Lao People, usually cook and serve Laab dishes for special occasions such as welcome parties, Lao New Year, housewarmings, weddings, and most importantly the Baci Su Khuan Ceremony. Laab is considered a lucky food in Laos, so it is served on these occasions, so people who eat it will get lucky. According to my grandmother, who is now 103 years old, she said, in the olden days, Laab was usually prepared using fresh raw meat, mostly deer meat (aka venison) or other big game meat from hunting. When the Nai Phaan "the hunters" went out hunting in the jungle and if they were lucky that day they would get their prize animals "their Choke Laab or Laab in short. When the hunters carried the animals to the village, the villagers usually said/shouted to them "Jung maan choke laab choke dee noh = Wow! you're so lucky" or "Jung maan laab paak noh mue nee = (laterally) means your mouth is lucky today''. So, when they went home to their family they would always make Laab dishes to celebrate their lucky day. Hence, the Laab dish was coined. P.S. Good Job, Chef Saeng!

Dude, I am so glad to see someone finally get this one right! The other variations I've seen on KZbin might be tasty, but they don't really represent the authentic dish. I didn't know about the bile, as I learned to use a lot of lime and peppers to chemically "cook" the beef. Interesting! I'm used to having some sticky rice with it as well.

I don't fear this dish and am not ashamed of it. I always order this every time we go to a Lao or Thai restaurant. I choose this over Pho. Order it with papaya salad and I tell the chef to make it as hot as they can!!!!!!! When Covid hit, I went back to eating like our ancestors and the weight came off so fast in a year. I minimize the American diet these days and try to incorporate more South East Asian foods.

@mouajas2 жыл бұрын
It doesn’t kill the raw taste. Lime does. The acidity from the lime juice cooks raw meat. The bitterness is coming from the bile, it does that. It’s an acquired taste. Too much Padek can make it salty as well. If you’re not a fan of bitterness then don’t use bile next time and cut back on the padek.

The beef bile gives a bitter taste to the dish which vinegar really doesn't replicate. You can do the dish without the bile if you can't find it but you'd be missing another dimension of the dish.
