Larb Moo

About

Larb Moo, also known as Laab Moo, is a traditional Thai dish that consists of a spicy minced pork salad. It is a vibrant and flavorful salad that combines ground pork with a variety of fresh herbs, including mint, cilantro, and scallions. The dish is seasoned with ingredients like fish sauce, lime juice, and chili flakes, which give it a tangy, savory, and spicy taste. The use of toasted rice powder, known as khao kua, adds a unique texture and nutty flavor to the salad. Larb Moo is often served with fresh vegetables like lettuce, cucumbers, and cabbage, which provide a refreshing contrast to the bold flavors of the pork. This dish is popular not only in Thailand but also in other parts of Southeast Asia, where it is appreciated for its refreshing and savory taste. It can be adjusted in spiciness to suit individual preferences, making it a versatile dish for various palates. Traditionally, Larb Moo is served at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
