About

Thai salads are among the best in the world – I just love their characteristic interplay of sweet and savoury. While green papaya salad will always be my go-to, this mushroom salad (laab het) is a close second. It calls for roasted and ground rice, which adds a contrasting crunch and nuttiness, and is easy to make at home. For something more substantial, serve this salad alongside steaming clouds of sticky rice.
