This reminded me a lot of the "waterfall" beef salad which I've made many times using this site's recipe, which is beyond excellent, I think the only thing omitted is the lemongrass. But it has a beautiful crisp freshness. We used Korean "sanchu" lettuce leaves to wrap it, which made it even more special. I wondering if it could tolerate the addition of some celery for extra crunch ...

In reply to Tananda. Made this the other night and it was so good!! Easy and tasted so fresh with the herbs and lime juice. Wondering how else to use the rest of the toasted rice/lime leaf powder??

Hi! This is so interesting... I just realized the laab recipes Thai folks provides do not contain garlic. I've been making mine with smashed garlic because a childhood Thai friend's mother makes it with garlic. I guess it's authentically made without? Thank you for the recipes, I'm obsessively reading your past ones. And I love your "laab anything" motto!

In reply to Kringkli. If you know you won't finish everything I would set aside whatever you won't eat and don't add the fresh herbs to it. Reheat in the microwave and toss fresh herbs in when you're gonna eat.

Hi Pai, do you have any tips on how to store this in fridge + reheating it? I’m a college student that happens to be obsessed with laab & sticky rice past 2 weeks 🙂 thank you

I happened to have ground pork so I made it with this - and - my wife said it was the most delicious thing I've ever cooked for her!

I will go back at some point and try your Laab Gai exactly but this is now about the 4th thing I've tried from following your videos/recipes and the success of a cookbook/cooking show is whether the fans can succeed following along.. In my estimation you are truly excellent in this regard. I look forward to more

Ok first of all this recipe is a pure example of delicious perfection.

But I wanted to eat it as a main course and I'm trying to eat healthy. So for one portion I used 100gr of chicken and added 100 gr of diced chestnut mushrooms and I replaced the sticky rice with whole grain jasmine. I can report that this approach didn't hurt the flavor much. I'm glad because now I can eat it more often :p

Turned out great but was too hungry to take a picture! Next time. 🙂 This gave me motivation to try making Nam Tok Nuea. Thank you, Pailin!

In reply to Jen. Sometimes, usually when I make it with beef. You certainly can!

Do you ever put fresh lemon grass in your laab?

Thank you so much! I live in remote Alaska and now can make one of my favorite Thai dishes anytime!

My husband and I LOVE this recipe! So fresh and light! We live in Thailand so it’s easy and cheap to find local dishes like this, but I love being able to make it myself, especially because it means I can adjust things according to our tastes and ensure that no MSG is added. Thanks Pailin for explaining everything so clearly, you are my go-to Thai food expert 😀

Laab is one of my favourite Thai salads, I've tried both the Gai and Moo variations. The addition of the kiffir lime leaf to the rice powder really brightens it up.
