Koi

Koi is a "salad" dish of the Lao people living in modern-day Laos Isan, Thailand and Thai people of Vietnam (Son La province) consisting of raw meat denatured by acidity, usually from lime juice. Common varieties include koi kung (Thai: ก้อยกุ้ง), with shrimp as the main ingredient, and koi paa (Lao: ກ້ອຍປາ)/koi pla (Thai: ก้อยปลา), which consists of minced or finely chopped raw fish in spicy salad dressing. Koi can be a source of parasitic diseases. Koi made with raw fish is a popular dish in Laos and Isaan and a common source of infection with the Southeast Asian liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini. Koi pla eaten in north-east Thailand is made from raw fish, live red ants, herbs and lime juice. Koi pla is eaten soon after it is prepared, without a long period of soaking in acid juice.
