Why Am I Feeling Irritated By A Close Friend

... salad

I'm tired of you talking about demos, tourists stranded and disaster economy.
So today, for a change, a little recipe of one of my favorite Thai dishes: the "Moo Laab (ลาบ หมู).
is a salad recipe from the north-eastern Thailand that found elsewhere in Laos.

bases of the plate are: mint, shallots, roasted rice and a spicy lemon and fish sauce.
"Moo" means "pork", but there are versions with chicken, beef etc ... Similarly, there may be variations on the vegetables.

But enough chatter, let the gross receipts, I repeat the comments after.

Laab Moo - for 2 persons:

200g minced pork (No. 8 photo)
1 / 2 bouillon cube
3 small shallots (No. 4)
3 a.c. fish sauce (No. 9)
a.c. of 3 lime juice (No. 2)
2 a.c. of fried rice (No. 5)
a.c. brown sugar 1 (No. 7)
1 tsp chilli powder (No. 6)
3 sprigs mint (No. 3)
3 shoots to "Pak chi farang" (No. 1, see comments at the end of the recipe)

Boil water with the bouillon cube in a pan, cook the ground pork.
Book pork and let cool (one turn in the freezer is a good solution).

Chop "pak chi" and shallots, mixed with whole mint leaves and remaining ingredients in a bowl. Stir everything pretty much for the flavors to blend.

Add pork and stir some more.

Serve with rice.



Hey there ... Simplissime not?

The ingredients are really easy to find except:
  • toasted rice : Now we'll have to do it yourself. Just toast the rice in a dry pan (no oil or anything), until browned slightly. Then go to the blender to obtain a fine powder (which looks a little ground pepper). This is essential in the recipe, because it brings a nice crisp.
  • pak chi farang : except by going to a supermarket with the Asian picture, it's hard to find. As is the variable part of the recipe, even here. You can, for example, compensate by using a bit of arugula and a few basil leaves (it will bring some pleasant smell). Others put a little lemon.
In theory, the recipe is more spicy, feel free to adjust the amount of pepper.

What I find most interesting about this recipe is that it provides a basis for a lot of really nice variety of salads. I imagine, for example, replace meat with tomatoes. It must be delicious too.

I await the comments of those who have tried.
