The recipes of Laos are different from many other Asian dishes, other than their similarities with northeastern Thailand, since the areas are so close together.

Foods in Laos are served often in a communal dish. Sticky or glutinous rice is eaten more commonly than white Japanese rice. They sometimes cook with bamboo tubes, using fermented, spicy fish sauce and herbs like lemon grass and galangal. Cooks in Laos strive to create a balance between sweet and sour, fresh, cooked, bitter, mild, spicy and salty. Color and texture are very important in Lao dishes. Come on, let's try it!
