Lao Grilled Fish with Herbs
Ping Pa
Ping Pa is a classic Laotian grilled fish dish, renowned for its aromatic stuffing of local herbs and spices. Typically made with red snapper or other white-fleshed fish, it's seasoned with salt and stuffed with a fragrant mixture of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, garlic, shallots, galangal, fish sauce, and lime juice. This delicacy is a staple in Laotian markets and eateries, often served with sticky rice and a spicy dipping sauce (jeow).

If using whole fish, make several diagonal cuts about ยฝ inch apart on both sides of each fish, cutting to the bone. This helps seasonings penetrate.

In a small bowl, mix the chopped lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, garlic, shallots, galangal, fish sauce, lime juice, MSG (if using), and black pepper. This is your herb stuffing.

Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle the inside and outside of the fish generously with salt. Stuff the cavity of each fish with the herb mixture.

Prepare your grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the fish with vegetable oil.

Grill the fish for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the skin is nicely browned and the flesh is cooked through and flakes easily. Cooking time will vary based on the size of the fish.
