Seafood Larb

Larb (or laab or laap) is a refreshing Thai-Lao salad, typically made with ground chicken, beef, lamb or pork with lots of assertive fresh herbs and lime juice. I use white fish here, but raw (called “green”) shrimp can be substituted in part or wholly. A key ingredient is the Thai toasted rice powder, which is available at well-stocked markets or online. But it’s easy to make your own with the recipe. Don’t skip it.
