[Recipe] Spicy Meat Salad, with lamb (Larb nua luk kae)

Hi steemians and foodies :),

Today I made Larb with ground lamb. Normally in Thailand this dish is made from pork, chicken or even beef but as I am in Germany I did it with lamb today and I can spoiler already, it taste really good!!!

What you need:

 

• 300 grams (1 pound) minced lamb
• 2 tbs of toasted sticky rice (khao kua)
• 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of chili flakes (prik bon)
• a pinch of sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce
• Juice from about 1-2 limes
• 1-2 shallots
• 2-3 lime leaves
• 3 - 5 spring onions
• About 15 leaves or so of fresh mint
• lettuce, cucumber or any other green of you choice to garnish

How to cook it:

• Add a bit of oil to a pan and fry the lamb till its fully cooked but still juicy, then take it of the heat.
• Mix the lamp with the toasted rice and the chili flakes
• Add sugar, fish sauce and lime juice (2 limes will be quite sour, add 1 first, taste and add more if you want to)
• Then add sliced shallots, finely chopped spring onion, very thin sliced lime leaves and the mint leaves.
• Give it a good mix to make sure the lamb is coated with the seasoning.
• Garnish and serve with sticky rice or rice of your choice.

Enjoy!
