Ground beef salad with lemongrass and chilli, Hmong style recipe (la or larb)
- Cuisine: Thai
Ingredients
1 kg beef or chicken
3 red chillies, chopped fine including seeds
1 bunch coriander, chopped
2 bunch shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 bunch mint, chopped
2 bunch Vietnamese mint, chopped
200g uncooked glutinous rice
4 kaffir lime leaves, cut very fine
Salt, fish soy, dark soy and lemon juice to taste
Preparation
Toast the rice until brown then blend or pound to a fine powder. Set aside.
With a very sharp knife, chop the meat until it is almost a fine paste (finer even than mince). Alternatively, you could mince in a blender several times. Heat a little oil in a wok and add the meat, cook it through evenly breaking up any lumps.
Take the meat off the heat and place in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice. Mix through the chillies and herbs.
Finally, add the ground rice and serve in lettuce leaf cups with handfuls of steamed glutinous rice. (A trick for getting lots of juice from lemons is to hit them hard with the flat side of a knife blade before cutting them open.)

Spices
Use dried spices quickly and discard after a few weeks. Chef Peter Kuruvita says you can't make a good curry with ancient spices and believes many Australians have dried spices older than their children!
