Khao tom
Khao tom (Lao: ເຂົ້າຕົ້ມ) and khao tom mat (Thai: ข้าวต้มมัด) are a popular Laotian and Thai dessert made of sticky rice, ripe banana, coconut milk, all wrapped and steamed-cooked in banana leaves. A similar dessert is enjoyed throughout Southeast Asian countries where it is known as Num ansom in Khmer, lepet in Indonesian, suman in Filipino, bánh tét and bánh chưng in Vietnamese.
Khao tom can be either savory or sweet. This one from Laos, with a pork fat and mung bean filling, is savory. | |
