Sai Kok | Traditional Cooked Sausage From Laos, Southeast Asia | TasteAtlas

Sai kok

(Sai gok, ໄສ້ກອກ)

Sai kok is a spicy pork sausage that is consumed in Laos and northern Thailand. It is very similar to sai oua, another kind of local sausage, and generally uses the flavoring ingredients that are staples in Lao cuisine - lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, red chilis, garlic, shallots, and fish sauce.


Some recipes also incorporate dill, galangal, chicken bouillon seasoning, and black pepper. The sausage is then usually left to infuse for a few days (some street vendors will sell it uncooked), and it is then grilled and served alongside sticky rice and spicy dipping sauces.
