Nam Khao is a Lao dish from my childhood. It's mainly comprised of crumbled curried coconut rice balls and Lao sour pork (which can be found at Lao and some Southeast Asian markets). Despite the pork and fried carbs, it's flavor doesn't come across as heavy. It's brightened up by lime, fresh herbs, and toasted chili flakes. It's served as a DIY lettuce wrap for you to pile on additional herbs as well. It's one of my all-time favs. Hope you like it.
