In Laos, Miang kham is called Miang. Although a variety of Miang exists throughout the country, there are two popular main types: Miang Lao (or Miang Padaek) and Miang Luang Prabang (or Miang khao). Miang Lao uses dipping sauces made with fermented fish sauce (Padaek), or pieces of the fermented fish, which provides an intense flavor. There are a selection of vegetables, herbs and spices, and types of leaves used for wrapping, including lolot leaves, Chinese kale, lettuce, cabbage, spinach and perilla leaves. In some regions, Miang is often folded in cooked cabbage leaves (Lao: ກະລໍ່າປີ kaalampii).
Miang Luang Prabang uses sticky rice paste in the place of dipping sauces. The paste is prepared by blending sticky rice puffs using a food processor and rehydrating the rice with a flavoring broth. The rice paste is spooned and wrapped together with vegetables, herbs and spices in a lolot leaf or lettuce, and served. Alternatively, for simplicity some people choose to pre-mix some of the herbs and spices with the rice paste during the blending process. This Lao snack is sold during festivals, in markets and on roadsides in Laos.[6] Miang can be tailored into a meal, for instance, by including grilled fish meat and Lao rice vermicelli (sen Khao poon) among the ingredients.
