Sai oua is an ancient Lao word for sausage,[1] literally sai (intestine) oua (stuffed). Sai oua is a spicy sausage originating from Luang Prabang, Laos.[2][3][4] Luang Prabang was once the royal capital and seat of power of the Kingdom of Lan Xang (1353-1707). The ancient city of Luang Prabang is considered to be the cradle of Lao culture and cuisine.[5][6][7] At the height of its power, Luang Prabang's influence stretches from the borders of Sipsongpanna (China) to Steung Treng (Cambodia), from the eastern border along the Annamite Range with Vietnam to the western border Khorat Plateau (Northeastern Thailand (Isan)) and its sister kingdom of Lan Na[8][9]
Types
There are two types of Sai oua in Laos.

Phia Sing's hand written recipes were complied and published for the first time in 1981.[10]
