Laos-born chef Seng Luangrath left her native country during the Vietnam War and made her temporary home in a refugee camp in Thailand. During this trying time, Seng found her passion: cooking. She learned how to cook from fellow refugees, and as an adult, decided to bring authentic Lao cuisine to her adopted hometown of Washington, D.C. at Thip Khao<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n Chef Seng works to preserve her Laotian-American heritage through a menu of traditional and modern Lao bites, starting with appetizers.

This traditional dish features tender pork shoulder grilled with ginger, lemongrass, and fermented fish, then finished with a fiery toasted rice sauce. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Laos-born chef Seng Luangrath left her native country during the Vietnam War and made her temporary home in a refugee camp in Thailand.
