Sabaidee,
Few days ago I've watched a travel documentary about Laos and the memory I had in mind it's all about food. I had worked at insurance company for almost 3 years and traveling to all provinces is something special for me and I'm exciting to do things, no matter which province I've visited. I get used with the Lao culture and also the food that make me feel want to visit Laos once again.
When I was travel by bus or by boat to other provinces, I've seen most of the local people brought their own food like steamed sticky rice, boil egg, grilled chicken or just simple salad all the time. They eat whenever and wherever they want, as simple as that. Living in Laos can be fun specially for those who like nature and quiet place to live.
STEAMED STICKY RICE
- 1 cup sticky rice, soak in the water for 4 hours or overnight.
- Strain the rice, place in the cheesecloth or bamboo steamer and steam for 20 minutes.
CUCUMBER SALAD
Ingredients;
1 cucumber, shredded/sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic
1 red chili
1 tomato or baby tomatoes, sliced
1/2 teaspoon shrimp paste
Brown or palm sugar, lime juice and fish sauce to taste
METHOD;
- Using mortar and pestle, roughly pound garlic, chili and shrimp paste just until everything mix together.
- Add tomato, sugar, lime juice and fish sauce, mix thoroughly.
- Add shredded cucumber little by little, and gently pound and mix well.
- The taste should be a little bit spicy, salty, sour and a little sweet flavors.
- Serve with steamed sticky rice.
Enjoy!
