Khao Jee
Khao Jee, meaning 'grilled rice', is a popular Lao snack made from sticky rice. This version focuses on creating a puffed, crispy exterior with a chewy interior, often achieved through a process of steaming, drying, and then frying. It can be enjoyed plain, lightly salted, or with a sweet caramel drizzle.
