larb
Laab, also known as Larb and Laap, is a northeastern food. It usually
eaten as a part of a set (laab, papaya salad and sticky rice.) The set is
accompanied by string beans, sliver of cabbage, water spinach and Thai
basil. It can be served as an appetizer. It can also be served as a main
course along with other non-northeastern food.
1 lb ground chicken
2 tablespoons sliced shallot
2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onion
1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
3 tablespoons roasted rice powder (khao koor)
2 tablespoons ground Thai chile
(be sure to use real Thai ground chile)
3 tablespoons lime juice
2-3 tablespoons fish sauce
garnish
Always serve with a good portion of fresh cabbage, and add green beans,
parsley, sliced radish, cucumber, & coriander leaves if you like.
You can use ground chicken from the supermarket, or chicken ground in
your food processor. Cook the chicken with 2 tablespoons lime juice in a
pan over moderate heat. Stir until done. Transfer cooked chicken into
medium mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and mix well. Taste
and season as desired. You might want more or less ground chile and/or
fish sauce, etc. Serve with fresh vegetables and warm, freshly-steamed
sticky rice (or if you prefer you can use Thai jasmine rice).
note: if you like chicken giblets, cut them up into small pieces and
cook in boiling water. Drain then add to cooked ground chicken before
you add the other ingredients.
