  • About
Let it be said, before we embark on what may seem like a daunting catalogue of exotic ingredients, that those which are essential to Lao cookery are few and can be obtained without great difficulty in any place where reasonably comprehensive food shopping facilities exist, and especially where there are Chinese groceries.

One problem is padek. But other fermented fish products may be used instead; or plain fish sauce.

A second problem is lemon grass. It is best to use fresh lemon grass, and this can be grown in a wide range of climates. Failing this, buy dried lemon grass, or use powdered lemon grass. The latter is often sold as sereh powder, sereh being its Indonesian name.
