About Khao Jee
Khao jee are grilled sticky-rice patties with an egg coating, associated with Isan and Laos. Praew’s Isan rendition includes both chicken and duck eggs around the compact rice cakes.
Salt and Golden Mountain seasoning sauce give the coating a savoury flavour. The eggs add richness, while charcoal grilling brings the light smokiness associated with this breakfast or snack.
The patties are round or oval, with a crisp, golden exterior and a soft, chewy centre. Their firm shape makes them easy to hold, while the sticky grains remain closely packed inside.
