By Phia Sing
Published 1981
The Lao word for a sauce is jaew. That, at least, is one way of representing it in English characters. It is a particularly intractable word for transliteration, and may appear as tchéo or jéo or in kindred forms.
Phia Sing often says at the end of a recipe what sauce should accompany the dish. The sauce is often an uncooked mixture, which we would be just as likely to call a relish or a dressing.
