Minced meat salad tossed with toasted rice powder, fish sauce, lime, and fresh herbs — the Lao version leans herbal and punchy rather than sweet
Green papaya shredded and pounded with chili, lime, fish sauce, and tomato — the Lao-style preparation (tam mak hoong) tends to be funkier and more fermented than the Thai version
Glutinous rice steamed in bamboo baskets and served in the traditional woven container — the essential Lao accompaniment eaten by hand alongside larb and grilled proteins
Coconut milk soup with galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime — fragrant and rich without the sharp heat of tom yum
