Le khao poon est une soupe laotienne de vermicelle de riz nappée d'une sauce de porc ou de poulet épicée, relevée de citron vert et de légumes frais. On la mange volontiers au déjeuner, parfois au petit-déjeuner, dans les marchés et les familles.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the pork with crumbled firm tofu and the chicken stock with a vegetable stock.

Using what's easy to find. If padaek is hard to find, use a little extra fish sauce instead.
