Laab Moo Lao (Lao Minced Pork Salad)

Since laab is the national dish of Laos, laab moo, a popular variation, is made with pork meat, pork belly, and essential Lao ingredients such as galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and roasted sticky rice powder. Like most types of laab, every part of the animal is used in the dish. For traditional pork laab, you will also find pork liver and skin included. Laab is typically enjoyed with sticky rice, fresh greens, and a soup made from the bones of the protein used.
