Sticky Rice, Bang Bang Sauce, and Other Reasons To Love Laotian Cuisine

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

What’s spicy, eaten with your hands, and spiked with Hennessy? This week on Cooking in America, host Pelin Keskin visits Khe-Yo, one of New York’s first Laotian restaurants, to celebrate the Laotian New Year with executive chef Soulayphet Schwader - and his mom. Watch for a look at the cuisine and tradition surrounding the annual celebration, and sauce so spicy, it’s named “Bang Bang.”

    I was very fortunate to have Laotian friends settle in the small town in Iowa where I grew up. The food and the people are absolutely incredible!! I have since moved away from my town and it's always fun when I go to a local Asian market and buy all of the items most non-asian people have no idea to buy. Many times, the store owners will ask me how I know what to buy, I say I have many Laotian friends growing up and they always smile.

    Great job Eater! This new series and its host is fantastic. And right on the heels of Dining on a Dime too! Pelin and Lucas would make an AMAZING show together - but then the internet would probably implode from the awesome. Also, I do not know the context of the statement, but you can hear that lovely old mother murmur "My God, I love you!" at around 3:40. I'd like to think it as a reaction to a person (and a crew) being kind, funny, and respectful to a culture and a family. Keep pumping out the great content you guys! Much love from the Philippines.
