Obviously the ones made in Laos had livestock skin such as water buffalo skin in it..which is why it's called buffalo skin chili pepper dip by my Hmong elders... O0:

It was harder to find water buffalo skin here in the US so my mom used pork skin instead:

This is jell bong in Lao. It’s best with Buffalo skins.

Agree regarding the buffalo skin point...

When my mom made it in Laos, she had to boil the water buffalo skin for a while before it's tender enough to be shredded and mixed it with the chili dip but it was worth it.  O0
