Jeow(Laotian Salsa) image

Jeow is a lot of things, but mainly any sort of dipping sauce, typically made with char-grilled veggies. Sometimes spicy. Sometimes not. It could be vegetarian or it could be made with crushed beetles. Or anything in between. Great for dipping balls of sticky rice into. A Laotian staple. This is a good base sauce, feel free to add flavors and experiment. Laos is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, bordered by Burma and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, and Thailand to the west.

Time 20m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tomatoes
3 thai bird chilies (can use a milder chili like jalapeno for a milder sauce)
1 head garlic
1 pinch cilantro
fish sauce (will not be vegan if you use this) (optional)

Steps:

  • Roast tomatoes, chilies, and garlic over a campfire, on a grill(I used a grill pan), in a comal (flat pan available at Latino markets) over medium heat or in the oven until blackened and soft. Be sure to continually turn the garlic so it cooks evenly.
  • Peel and puree with cilantro, fish sauce(if using) and salt.

This salsa is really good! I love the smoky flavor that the roasted tomatoes add. It's also very easy to make. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salsa is amazing! It's so flavorful and has just the right amount of heat. I love using it as a dipping sauce for chips or as a topping for tacos. It's also great as a marinade for chicken or fish.

I didn't really like this salsa. It was too spicy for my taste, and it didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.

This salsa is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it needs more flavor. I might try adding some more spices next time.

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great for people who like their food really hot. I also think it would be good as a marinade for chicken or fish.

I'm not really a fan of spicy food, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. It's definitely not for the faint of heart! The salsa is very spicy, but it also has a lot of flavor. I think it would be great for people who like their food really hot.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of cilantro. But I'm so glad I did! The cilantro actually adds a really nice freshness to the salsa. I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a hit.
