A bright, sharp salad from Northeast Thailand made with minced pork or chicken, toasted rice powder, lime, and fish sauce.
Minced meat (usually pork or chicken) cooked and tossed with toasted rice powder, fish sauce, lime juice, shallots, chilli, and fresh mint.
The key ingredient — khao khua; gives a nutty flavour and subtle crunch; transforms the dish from ordinary to distinctively Isaan.
Larb Moo Dib — raw minced pork marinated with bile — a traditional Isaan dish not for the faint-hearted but beloved by locals.
Isaan restaurants throughout Bangkok; 60–120 THB; usually comes with sticky rice; pairs well with cold beer.
