Light and Dark Soy Sauce adds a depth to fried foods. The cooking Oil also matters a great deal. It would be expensive if restaurants changed their oils everyday, and I doubt that they do that in Vientiane. It is strange that "simple foods" always seem to teaste better in Laos?. ;) Hi Amanda, I should think that it has a lot to do with the marinade. Light and Dark Soy Sauce adds a depth to fried foods.
