Jeow bong
Jeow Bong or Jaew Bong (Lao: ແຈ່ວບອງ, Thai: แจ่วบอง; RTGS: Chaeo Bong) also called Luang Prabang chili sauce is a sweet and savory Lao chili paste originating from Luang Prabang, Laos.[1][2] Jeow Bong is made with sundried chilies, galangal, garlic, fish sauce and other ingredients commonly found in Laos.[3] Its distinguishing ingredient, however, is the addition of shredded water buffalo or pork skin.[4]
