What is Lao mortar?
Know by its tall flower-vase shape the Lao mortar is made from dark grey clay which is glazed inside and out. This is the topical style mortar used to make green papaya salad. Ingredients are pounded using a wooden (most often tamarind wood) pestle. This is not a mortar that you used to "grind" foods but they are mashed to bring out and combine flavors. Lao mortars come in many sizes from about 5" wide to huge varieties up to 14" wide.
Substitute for Lao mortar
Any sturdy mortar such as a Thai stone or marble mortar
