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]
It is eaten usually by dipping Lao sticky rice or a raw/parboiled vegetable in it. It's also a condiment for a Lao riverweed snack called Kaipen. Jeow bong lasts for a long time, does not spoil easily and can be either on the spicier or sweeter side, depending who makes it. Characteristically, it is both sweet and spicy.
