What it is

Luang Prabang's peppery stew: a slow wood-fired pot of buffalo or chicken, eggplant and yard-long beans, thickened with sticky rice and perfumed with sakhan pepper wood. Ingredients: chicken or buffalo, eggplants (round and pea), long beans, mushrooms, dill, spring onions, lemongrass, chiles, padaek, sticky-rice slurry, sakhan (pepper wood bark). Recipe: 1) Simmer the meat with lemongrass and padaek. 2) Add vegetables by cooking time. 3) Thicken with rice slurry. 4) Finish with dill and a piece of sakhan for its numbing warmth. Serve: with sticky rice in the north's slow style. Flavor: peppery, herbal, smoky — Laos's most distinctive stew. History: or lam is the signature of Luang Prabang, the old royal capital; sakhan bark gives it a flavour found nowhere else on Earth. See also: Larb, Tam Mak Hoong.
