Laotian spicy stew From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Or Lam (Lao: ເອາະຫຼາມ, pronounced [ʔɔ́ʔ.lǎːm]) is a mildly spicy, slightly tongue numbing, Laotian stew originating from Luang Prabang, Laos. The peppery and thick broth is prepared by slowly simmering lemongrass, chilies and Lao chili wood (sakhaan)[1] with crushed or mashed up sticky rice, grilled citronella, garlic, dill and onions added to thicken the broth.[2]
