Chicken Larb
Larb is a kind of minced meat salad which is regarded as the national dish of Laos. I love Chicken Larb. I love how fresh it tastes and how light it is to eat especially in the warmer months. I serve this cold in lettuce leaves but you can serve hot or cold and certainly serve it with rice or rice noodles. This is a great meal to whip up on a Sunday evening and allow the flavours to develop overnight. This then becomes your lunch or dinner on the run for the next few days. This is a very mild dish however you can up the chilli level to increase the heat. - Peta
