Khao jee pâté

Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Khao jee pâté is a Lao sandwich built on a baguette, comparable to Vietnam's bánh mì and Cambodia's num pang, and a famous street food found throughout Laos. French bread reached Laos while the country was ruled as part of French Indochina. The baguette is split lengthways and spread with a thick layer of pork liver pâté, then stuffed with pork or Lao sausage, sliced papaya, carrots, shallots or onion, cucumber and cilantro, and sometimes with jeow bong or chili sauce. It should not be confused with khao jee, a different and also popular traditional Lao food made of steamed sticky rice formed into patties, coated with a seasoned egg mixture and grilled over an open fire.
