Lahu Cuisine
Lahu Cuisine is a traditional culinary style of the Lahu people, an ethnic group primarily found in Southeast Asia. This cuisine is characterized by its use of fresh ingredients, including vegetables, herbs, and meats, often sourced from local markets and farms. Common cooking methods include steaming, boiling, and stir-frying, which help preserve the natural flavors of the ingredients.
A staple in Lahu Cuisine is rice, often served with various side dishes such as spicy dips and stir-fried vegetables. The use of herbs like lemongrass and ginger adds distinctive flavors, while dishes may also incorporate wild game and fish, reflecting the community's connection to their natural surroundings.
