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.
