This is a national dish for Laos and is very popular in Northeast Thailand too. It is basically a salad with a spicy mixture of marinated meat that is sometimes raw, vegetables, herbs, and spices. The meats commonly used are chicken, beef, duck, turkey, pork, and fish. It is flavored with fish sauce and lime. In Thailand, other local condiments for flavor and seasoning are more commonly used. This dish is usually served with sticky rice.
