Jeow is a delicious Lao dipping sauce, and since Lao food is so underrated I’m going to share it with you all.
>5 cloves of garlic
>5 thai bird’s eye chilis
>1 green onion
>few sprigs of cilantro
Chop these and add them in a bowl. I don’t mince the garlic and chilis, just make as thin slices as I can, like that meme from goodfellas. Then add:
>1-2 tsp sugar
>1/2 tsp msg
>juice of one lime
>4-5 tbsp fish sauce (I use squid brand)
>4-5 tbsp soy sauce
Just stir until the sugar is dissolved, let the flavors get to mingle for a bit, and you’re done. It keeps for a week or two in the fridge

While you can eat this with anything, the best way is to serve it with some steak and sticky rice. Just dip the steak and rice in with your fingers and eat.

Anyone else into Lao food or have lao recipies?

It’s not sweet, the sugar just balances the saltiness and acidity. It’s a good balance between the chili, garlic, and salty/savoryness of the fish sauce. And if you don’t like those ratios they can all be adjusted, like mine wasn’t spicy enough so I added more chili

Not OP. Oyster sauce has oyster, salt, and sugar. So it fills in the fishy and fermented components of fish sauce in a different way. You could sub the fish sauce with a few tbsp oyster sauce, subtract the sugar, and add a little extra soy to thin it out (oyster sauce is thick).

not sure about laotians, but most south east asians use green mango when they talk about dipping it. something like:

fish sauce
shrimp paste
chili
sliced shallots and/or green onions
minced garlic
maybe some kind of citrus but the green fruits are usually sour enough.

Hi again. I'm >>19456332

Didn't read the thread beyond the word jeow until now.

So...
>squid brand
No access to stinky fish sauce IE padaek? Squid's okay, I guess, but Lao fish sauce doesn't taste the same as any other fish sauce except maybe pahok (Khmer fish sauce), but that stuff is thick af. Padaek is a grey/brown/beige liquid and it stinks.

>thin slices
Just crush the dry ingredients in a mortar then add the wet. If you put the garlic etc first, no cutting necessary, then add the sugar and msg, it helps with crushing it all. Use a firm mortar, not a Lao one. Lao mortar-and-pestles are pretty much only good for bruising salad vegetables like papaya and shit. You can't crush anything with them. Use a stone one.

As for other recipes, barbecued eggs (khai ping) are easy and not too "foreign" tasting for most people and are a great way to use jeow som.
You remove the top, pointed bit of a few dozen eggs sold in PAPER cartons only (plastic, foam etc will be bad for this; you'll see later), carefully shake out the contents of the eggs into a bowl and keeping the shells then strain the eggs (the process of removing the tops will prolly result in some shell in your eggs) and mix them with padaek, soy sauce, sugar and whatever spices and aromatics you like. Black pepper, pasted garlic, thinly sliced onion greens etc are good candidates.
Carefully pour the mixed eggs back into their shells (see why you kept the cartons?) and put the cartons on your barbecue away from the heat source at low temperature. Wood is ideal followed by charcoal. You can also bake them, but they won't taste the same.
After they're set, let them cool and skewer them, shell and all and, finally, barbecue directly over flame.
To eat, you peel the eggs and add jeow som or jeow maklen on top before consuming.

I mean... to be practical, Lao food isn't going to be your everyday diet. You're not going to be drying out algae sheets (nori is originally from Laos and taught to Japanese fisherman in the 800s during trade with what was then a powerful Lao kingdom; sushi is also originally Lao), buffalo meat or pig skins and you're not going to have regular access to fresh ingredients to cook Lao food so it all comes down to whether "eh, good enough" is, well... good enough. Or if you want to travel to the city to try to find padaek and other ingredients there.
But also: why not order it online?

That's just for jeow som. Most people don't know about any other Lao dipping sauce and there are literally dozens if not hundreds. Laos is a tiny nation of dippers. Dippers be dippin'.
Examples are jeow bee (a bitter dip made with bile), jeow bong (dried and puffed buffalo skin but outside of Laos, it's usually made with pork rinds or crackling; some monks who don't eat beef or pork will have it made with fish skin or mushroom but more on that below), jeow makkham (tamarind jeow made with garlic stems; really fucking good with beef), jeow hethom ("fragrant mushroom" jeow IE shiitake, which is made like jeow bong but with freshly powdered dried shiitake instead of animal skin) and many, many, many others, including regional ones made in, like, two villages that nobody ever fucking heard of.

But while I'm at it, Laos is the only county that eats sticky rice over any other form. Thais and Khmers will eat it with papaya salad or sometimes with barbecue but Lao people eat it everyday with almost every meal and even as a snack.
If you're hungry, a Lao mom will even tell you to eat sticky rice and moo foi (pork floss). There's also Lao rice crackers, made of sticky rice pressed into a sheet pan, dried out, broken into pieces and puffed in hot oil and you eat them with jeow and algae crackers.
