Larb is a Lao-Thai minced meat salad that punches way above its weight. Toasted rice powder is the secret weapon here: it gives the dish a nutty, slightly gritty texture that no other ingredient can fake. The dressing hits sour from lime, salty from fish sauce, and hot from fresh chillies, all balanced by a shower of fresh herbs. You eat it wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, which makes every bite a little different. This version uses the finely grated zest of a regular lime in place of kaffir lime leaves, delivering a bright, citrusy fragrance that works beautifully with the rest of the dish.
