Listen "#54 The Name Means "Little Girl," but This is a Woman's Business - Lisa Douangphoumy, Sao Noi, LLC"
Episode Synopsis
Chile oils and peanut sauces, typically only served fresh, have been been engineered to be sold with a great taste in the store by Lisa Douangphoumy, of Sao Noi. Another student of our host, Sarah Masoni, Lisa and her mother, Marney, came to Sarah and the OSU Food Innovation Center to become one of the first peanut butter sauce brands to be sold in a grocery store cooler. The name is Lisa's mother's nickname, which in Laotian literally means "little girl". She was the youngest of eight siblings, so the family is everywhere around the globe. Marney met her husband in Hawaii and started a restaurant there, then came to the Pacific NW in 2006. Lisa has kept the connection with the Pacific NW outdoor beauty and keep the natural taste and genuine ingredients to reflect that nature. Getting started was the hard part. Her mother made some terrific noodles and created some chile oils to go with them. An employee suggested contacting a supply company to distribute it and after a lot of hard work, things began to take off.
