公公婆婆来这里过节。在同龄的中国人中,他们在吃方面真的是相当easy-going,什么国家的菜都愿意尝试。这次笨笨媳妇做了一桌寮国菜,但事先卖个关子。每一样都试过后,请他们猜是哪国菜。婆婆说,“很像泰国菜,但一定不是泰国菜。”公公说,“有点像越南菜,但又不太一样。”这样他们再把泰国越南周边几个国家联想一下,很快就猜对了是寮国菜!真佩服他们!!

Laab Gai(minced chicken salad)
据说这是寮国的国菜,现在在大多数泰国餐馆也有,蛮健康清新的一道菜。
1/4 cup uncooked sweet rice
2 pounds ground chicken ?
2 tablespoons peanut oil ?
4 cloves garlic, minced ?
2 tablespoons minced galangal
2 small red chile peppers, seeded and finely chopped ?
4 green onions, finely chopped ?
1/4 cup fish sauce ?
1 tablespoon shrimp paste ?
1 tablespoon white sugar ?
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the rice onto a baking sheet. Bake the rice in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Once cooled, grind into a fine powder with a spice grinder.
Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, galangal, chile peppers, and green onions; cook and stir until the garlic softens, about 3 minutes. Add the ground chicken and cook, stirring constantly to break up lumps, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Season with fish sauce, shrimp paste, and sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the excess liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the ground rice, mint, basil, and lime juice to serve.
