Larb with Cabbage
4.5 stars
Bon Appetit Magazine, Apr 2018

Love this dish!  So much flavor but you can see why from the ingredient list.  It has sweet, sour, salty, spicy and umami flavors, plus crunch from the peanuts. We did change the recipe up just a little bit -- see notes below.

Ingredients: rice, ground pork or beef or lamb, green cabbage, peanuts, scallions, lemongrass, Thai chiles, garlic, shallot, lime juice, fish sauce, mint, vegetable oil, Kosher salt

Tips/Notes:

• Used lamb -- it's a bit fatty, so use less oil
• Used butter lettuce instead of cabbage
• Shredded cabbage and cooked it with the lamb
• Found Thai chiles (finally!) and wow, it added heat which was great!
• Add peanuts only at the very end if you think you'll have leftovers as the peanuts will get soggy
