Khao jao is a Laotian dish made with steamed white rice. It is a variation of the more popular khao niaw, made with jasmin rice instead of glutinous rice. The steamed rice is used as an ingredient for various stir-fried dishes. Lao food typically contains strong-flavored local greens and spices such as galangal, garlic, red chilies, and tamarind. Thus, khao jao and khao niaw were used by peasants as side dishes to offer a more balanced and nourishing meal.
