lao

Today we’re headed a bit off the beaten path, to Southeast Asia, and visiting the country of Lao. Lao or Laos means Land of a Million Elephants which is a symbol for prosperity - but the main draw to the country is the warm hospitality of its people. 

Whether you’re visiting to see spectacular waterfalls and jungle scenery, learn about the history of this melting pot country, or simply immerse into the authentic culture - Lao is a place that captures hearts. 

My guests today are Tara Gujadhur who runs the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre in Lao, Rachel O’Shea who founded the Laos Buffalo Dairy, and JB Richards our partner in the region and expert in all things Southeast Asia. 

We chat about everything from the importance of preserving traditional crafts, to the process of making cheese from buffalo milk, to amazing experiences you can have getting to know the locals.

Larb. Green papaya salad. Sticky rice. Historically, the food of Laos has flown under the radar in the U.S., often taking a back seat to more popular dishes from Thailand; but all of that is changing as young chefs take the reins, introducing the cuisine to an increasingly inquisitive American palate. 

Among those young upstarts is Alex Hanesakda, owner of SapSap, a food-based business through which he has introduced the food world to both food products and experiences that underscore both Lao flavors and traditions. In this week’s podcast, we talk with Hanesakda about his career path, from growing up cooking with his family in his hometown of Burlington Wisconsin to launching his own company. Along the way, he shares insights into his approach to Lao fare, the reception he’s received along the way and his plans for the future.

During the podcast, we also conduct an online taste test of one of SapSap’s newest products, a Lao hot sauce.

MEET HOL GUEST: Sydney Viengluang

In episode 8 of HOL, Sydney joins Rita for a conversation about her family’s story of escape from Laos to the U.S., growing up as a child of Lao refugees in Wichita, Kansas, her motivation to move to LA to pursue acting and what it was like meeting the Laos Angeles community. 

“Sydney has quickly become “one to watch” in the entertainment industry, bringing dynamic, diverse, and powerful female characters to life on screen.  This year, Viengluang will continue to star on SYFY’s hit, zombie apocalyptic series “Z Nation,” which debuted its fifth season in October 2018.  Viengluang joined the cast during season three and instantly became a fan favorite as Dr. Sun Mei, a biological researcher in search of the zombie virus to save humanity.  Aside from her work on “Z Nation,” Viengluang has worked on a handful of high profile television projects, including appearing on “Jane the Virgin,” “Scorpion,” and “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.”  Viengluang also executive produced and starred in the award-winning short film, “The Letter,” which won the Flicks4Chicks 2016 Short Film Contest Grand Prize for Diversity and Best Drama Award.”

Le Dao De Jing est un classique chinois qui, selon la tradition, fut écrit autour de 600 av. J.C. par Lao Zi (ou Lao-tseu), le sage fondateur du taoïsme, dont l'existence historique est contestée par la majorité des spécialistes contemporains de la philosophie et de la littérature chinoises. Lao-tseu ou Lǎo Zi (« vieil enfant » ou « maître Lao ») est un philosophe chinois qui aurait vécu au VIe siècle av. J.-C.. Il est occasionnellement appelé Laojun, « Monsieur Lao ». Le Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu ou Dao De Jing qu'on lui attribue a initié (a posteriori) le taoïsme et est considéré par d'autres courants également comme un texte philosophique important. Sur sa vie, on ne sait que peu de chose. Certains historiens estiment même qu'il n'a jamais existé. Il est considéré par le taoïsme religieux comme un dieu et l'ancêtre de toutes les écoles. Mythe ou personnage réel ? Les premières mentions de Lao Zi se trouvent dans le Zhuangzi (dix-huit passages) où il apparait le plus souvent sous le nom de Lao Dan. Il existe une occurrence isolée de Lao Laizi Un passage le décrit comme archiviste du roi des Zhou. On le voit le plus souvent critiquer les efforts de Confucius pour appliquer les vertus confucéennes, selon lui inefficaces et contre nature. Lao Zi l’appelle par son nom de famille, Qiu, comme le ferait un aîné, mais il se pourrait que ce soit une initiative de Zhuang Zhou pour mettre en évidence la supériorité de Lao Zi. Un passage du Livre des rites, classique confucéen, mentionne que Confucius interrogea un jour Lao Dan sur les rites de deuil. Le Hanfeizi et le Huainanzi sont les premiers à lui attribuer le Dao De Jing. Au IIe siècle av.J.C. Sima Qian rédige sa biographie : selon lui, il se nomme Li Er, nom social Boyang, encore appelé Dan. Il est né au pays de Chu dans le comté de Ku. Il était archiviste des Zhou. Il pratiquait le dao et la vertu et se tenait caché. Il aurait rencontré Confucius à Luoyang alors que ce dernier venait consulter la bibliothèque. Ils auraient eu une série de discussions au cours desquelles Lao Zi aurait exposé à Confucius l’inutilité de ses pratiques. À l'âge mûr, lassé des hommes, il aurait quitté son pays par l'Ouest, chevauchant un buffle, et aurait dicté au gardien de la passe Yin Xi qui l'en priait les cinq mille caractères (environ) du fameux Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu qui est avec le Livre des Mutations aux sources de l'ésotérisme chinois. Une théorie affirme qu'il n'aurait écrit que les dix premiers articles du Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu et que les autres auraient été ajoutés plus tard. Cette hypothèse est liée aux doutes concernant l’identité de Lao Laizi, l’un des noms sous lesquels est mentionné le critique du confucianisme du Zhuangzi. On trouve effectivement dans des textes datant d’avant l’empire, comme le Zhanguoce, mention d’un Lao Laizi de Chu, vivant à l’époque des Printemps et des Automnes, né sous le roi Kang et mort sous le roi Hui, pratiquant du Dao qui aurait vécu 160 ou 200 ans. Il se serait retiré dans les montagnes vers 479 av.J.C. pour y vivre en ermite avec sa femme, refusant le poste offert par le roi. Il serait l’auteur d’un Laolaizi en 15 ou 16 articles, perdu dès la fin des Han. Le folklore de la région de Jingmen au Hubei a conservé son souvenir ; il est devenu au XIVe siècle le héros d’une des Vingt-quatre histoires de piété filiale de Guo Jujing. fr.wikipedia.org (10-07-2007)

Are you just coasting in your life? Just going to work, coming home, eating food, watching TV and going to bed... Rinse and Repeat? Or... Are you COASTING and living the life you truly want where everything just lands in your lap? Easy. Stage One of Alchemy is about Creating Ease in your life. Stage Two of Alchemy is all about Letting Go of the baggage in your life. When you're inspired to make these changes in your life, things will shift.

Do you have to be a certain age to solve a problem in your community? Does it take a specific level of experience to see someone in need and offer to help? In this powerful episode of Add Passion and Stir, hear from two young people from the next generation of leaders. Millennial chef Bobby Pradachith (Thip Khao) and recent college graduate and anti-hunger advocate Alana Davidson (University of New Hampshire) join Share Our Strength founders Billy and Debbie Shore to share how they are already making big impacts in their communities. When Alana discovered that a quarter of her college classmates struggled with hunger, she sprang into action by contacting the governor and the dean of students. “I couldn’t sit on the number,” she says. “I had to do something about it.” Her efforts resulted in Swipe It Forward, a stigma-free meal donation program for any student experiencing food insecurity. Chef Bobby leads his unique Lao restaurant – the only one in DC - with bold and authentic menu options that both intrigue American diners and minimize food waste. “We don’t hold back,” he promises.

Despite their accomplishments, both millennial superstars remain driven to increase their impact going forward. Chef Bobby is inspired by his family’s culture and work ethic, and plans to increase his involvement with helping those less fortunate both here and in Laos. The secret to his continued success will be persistence. “If you have goals, you have to work hard at them,” he says. Alana is looking forward to graduate school at Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and a future working on federal food policy. “Nutrition is never one of the national priorities,” she laments. “Food is used as a tool to keep people in poverty… How can we have a conversation around nutrition that isn’t polarized or too political because we all have to eat.” Host Billy Shore agrees. He describes the military concept of a ‘show of force,’ but posits, “What if our show of force was: We’re going to have the strongest generation in history because we’re going to feed them and educate them… We’re going to invest in kids and health and nutrition and access to food for everyone. Now that’s a pretty different way than most people think of a show of force, but I think there’s an opportunity there to wake people up. These issues really do affect our nation’s strength.”

Listen and be inspired by these two young visionaries who are changing the world.
