So the shallots/onion should remain raw? Suspect that's fine.

Chili powder or chili flakes? Ingredients include one, the directions the other.

Otherwise, very tasty recipe!

In reply to Mary. It will be okay, but I'd add some non-spicy chili powder such as paprika or even red pepper flakes so at least you'll get the chili flavour

In reply to Robert. Can you leave out the chili to make it non spicy? Will that significantly impact the flavor of the dish?

Great recipe I wanted to make for a long time. Finally made this yesterday, with little lettuce cups and sticky rice. Sour, hot, fresh... loved it!

Hi Pai! In your first video about Laab (14 years ago!) you mention it can be made with fish. However, the fish I've been trying to use is Cod that has a lot of moisture to deal with, and I've struggled to incorporate it into the recipe. Would a different fish be more suitable, or is there a way to adjust the process to prep the fish to it can be more easily integrated?

I use 500g so would i need to double up on the fish and lime sauce?

Usually I make this with ground pork but my Thai friend said she likes it better when made with chicken. So today I used chicken thigh that I chopped as finely as possible. In my opinion this is great using chicken too!

Great recipe. Left out the sawtooth coriander and subbed a small onion for shallot. Also went a little lighter on the fish sauce.

This is such an amazing recipe and so easy to take it vegan. I either use soy curls or prepared plant-based chopped chick'n and cannot believe how crazy amazing this tastes. Thanks for my new go-to! Your entire site/channel is fantastic. Super grateful for your expert tips.

A fan of your site... reading from Thailand =)

Yes, never thought laab was so easy to make. Then, again, living here I just go down the road and order. But thanks to this covid thing, I started to cook again.

I love herbs and spices. So, I would add some lemon grass and a few kaffir/lime leaves. I also added some basil on top of the ones you had. Added extra shallot/red onions =)

And have you tried to roll it into round balls (like meatballs) and fry them (can use airfryer). Laab moo tod! Great beer food. =)

Fantastic, and cheap quick meal. Prefer it with lamb than pork, however but you can laab anything
