Nam Khao (also called Nam Khao Tod, Naem Khao, or Lao Crispy Rice Salad) is a classic Lao street-food salad from the Vientiane area.
It is made with seasoned jasmine rice formed into balls, deep-fried until golden and crispy, then broken into chunks and tossed with Lao fermented pork sausage (som moo), crushed peanuts, shredded coconut, fresh mint, cilantro, green onion or shallot, lime juice, and fish sauce. The result is a lively mix of crunchy rice, tangy fermented pork, bright herbs, and a salty-sour-spicy dressing. It is traditionally eaten by wrapping spoonfuls in lettuce leaves.
