The Story Behind Ping Sin

Ping sin exemplifies the Laotian love of grilled meats that dates back to the earliest settlements along the Mekong. The simple marinade of fish sauce and aromatics allows the quality of the beef and the skill of the griller to shine. This dish is as much about the social ritual of gathering around a charcoal grill as it is about the food itself.
