  • This banana leaf wrapped present is called mok pa. Pa means fish. It’s a Lao food that takes all the signature aromatics and flavors and pairs it with fresh catfish. The unique part of this dish is the dill to give it a different flavor profile compared to other Lao dishes. After it finishes steaming, make sure you have freshly cooked sticky rice to eat with it. When you open this Lao food package, you will feel like its a holiday every time.

    Mmm this is such a comfort dish for me. My mom uses fatty pieces of salmon for mok pa and it’s just heavenly. Sometimes she’ll add mixed mushrooms, which then really kicks up the umami flavors like wow, wow, wow! Great job Saeng!

    I eat this all my life and never had I ever got tire of it. It's the type of food that you can't stop eating even when you're full, just like curry and steameolls cover in spicy peanut sauce. It's just so good!
    Sticky rice is a must for the fish!
    Eat til full, 1 hour later still crave them.
    The dill always shine in this dish!

    I really agree that the Dill brings out the peculiar great taste of this dish. My first time to use dill. My new discovery in my life. Lol. And I used a kitchen tie instead of the skewer.
    Then my banana leaves have some slits - so what I did was secured it with aluminum foil( outside part) so the sauce won’t seep out. Thank u really for this dish 😀

      No,,. It don't give that sticky taste...The soak sticky rice ,dill...and the fermented fish paste that's what bring out the best of this dish and give it a balance favor.and texture..The dill help kill the smells
      .and give it that special taste... Without those ingredient don't even tried...to much fish smell..
