Naem khao (Lao: ແໜມເຂົ້າ), also known as yam naem (Thai: ยำแหนม) is a very popular Lao appetizer salad originating from Tha Deua, a small port village, in Vientiane, Laos.[1][2][3][4][5]
Nam khao can be found at street stalls, restaurants, or served communal/potluck style on large trays at parties and other celebratory events.[6] The dish has spread to Northeastern Thailand (Isan)[7] and the rest of Thailand when Laotians and ethnic Lao from the Isan region migrated to Bangkok for work.[8] The dish is also gaining popularity in the West where the Laotians have immigrated. It was also named among the best street foods in Asia. [9][10]
