Naly ,i haven’t had the chance to ask my mom but I will as her when I see her this weekend (if we’re not so busy with our New Year) but I will try to get the ingredients for the paste for you. I need to learn how to make it anyways.

The Oyster sauce do make a big difference, honestly my family loves oyster sauce so we add it with almost everything.

I’ve tried your recipe. It was delicious! I used store bought curry paste the one in the red can and mixed it in the yellow can as you suggested. One ingredient I’ve never seen put in is the oyster sauce. I’ve tried it and I think it makes a big difference.

Thanks again! I understand regarding your mom’s curry paste. Anything helps.

Naly, I’ll see what I can do. It’s really hard to say how much of what my mom put in since like me, my mom don’t have measurements, she only put in whatever amount she think it is needed.

Would it be possible to get the ingredients for your mom’s curry sauce?

GINGER–My Lao friend also called it Kao Phoun also. I believe it’s from the language differences. The way we call it sounds very similar to the way you guys call it.

Dallas, we call the Galanga “Khaw” in Hmong. Thanks for the English name for the Khaw! Save me some searching time ^_^
Yep, as Ginger had stated our Kong Pong is Kao Phoun in Laos.

Look very spicy. Is “kong pong” a Hmong name of this dish?

The dried “ginger” is really a “kha”(Lao). The English name for this is “galanga”.

Now I know what a Kong Pong is.;)

Wow, looks real good, this is what you call Kong Pong, I called it Kao Phoun, I kind of thought you meant this when Dallas was asking at my blog. I’ll let him know.
