Lao Beef Stew
Or Lam
Or Lam is a hearty and flavorful Laotian stew traditionally associated with Luang Prabang. It features tender chunks of beef simmered with a unique blend of Laotian spices, vegetables, and often includes rice balls for added texture. The distinctive peppery and spicy flavor comes from sakhan, the stems of wild vines, along with aromatics like lemongrass, cilantro, dill, basil, and galangal.
