  1. Would you please post the ingredients list? What is brown liquid poured into white bowl before olive oil? What is the crunchy toping at the end?

  2. I first tried Nam Khao when working at a Lao Cafe, they'd make it for me without the pork but of course bc I love it so much I have to make it myself, thanks for making it vegan 😭 i've been looking for an alternative for fish sauce

  3. interesting take. Although traditionally we don’t use avocado oil or cucumbers. But it’s fascinating that you baked the rice in the oven that’s something new I havn’t seen done.
