Or Lam
Lao Herbal Stew
Or Lam is a hearty and aromatic stew originating from Luang Prabang, Laos. This rustic dish features tender meat (traditionally beef or water buffalo, but adaptable to other proteins) simmered with a unique blend of herbs, vegetables, and spices, including the distinctive 'sakhan' (chili wood) which imparts a mild numbing sensation and peppery flavor. The stew is thickened with sticky rice and has a complex, earthy taste.
