These festivities normally include the usual culinary suspects like, Larb, Grilled Chicken, Som Moo, Papaya Salad (you cannot have a celebration without Tum Mhak Houng!) or even a nice Khao Poun. All food is good. :biggrin: Hi Donnie,

I am glad that you have got some mileage from the recipe!

Sometimes we also shape it in to different shapes and slice it differently.

Homemade is always better, and I think that family, friends and guests appreciate it more than the mass produced stuff.

I am so happy that you like the recipe! :biggrin:

Im planning on making the som moo this weekend, however after studying this receipe I'm unfamiliar with the sticky rice process? I understand that sticky rice needs to be soaked and washed and washed again before steaming. In your recipe do I steam the rice before I add to the pork mix? or am I adding the soaked & washed rice?

I hope that the recipe serves you well and that´ll end up with loads of lovely Som Moo! I don´t think that we are clever enough to make a Lao cookbook, its sad that many of the older recipes are hardly written down. But I would love to learn about the history of our dishes, there are so many variations and versions to know about. Perhaps one day I´ll take a few months off and travel around...that would be ideal! Hi Phouang, and thanks for your nice comments.
