Roasted Mushroom Larb 🍄 🔥

Earthy mushrooms replace meat in this fresh take on traditional larb. A dish popular in the northeastern regions of Thailand, Larb is often a lively combination of cooked minced meat, fresh herbs, and a punchy dressing.

In this recipe, mushrooms are roasted until golden brown, and crispy around the edges, and once cooled, tossed with a mixed of cilantro, mint, basil and aromatics, including sliced scallions.

Lime juice and soy sauce keep the dressing tangy and savory. A subtle, nutty crunch from toasted ground rice is in essential element of this timeless salad.

Banh mi amor.

Kanom Jee Namya Pra 🐟 🍲 🔥
