Larb (Laab) Thai Meat Salad With Mint and Lemongrass image

I first had this dish when i lived in Port au Prince Haiti, a thai restaurant served it..i loved it and have kept looking for one that has the right spicing. It is a wonderful scented tasting heaven. Most of them have to few flavors but it needs enough of each herb. Of course people can change the amounts to their taste. Serve over rice or roll up in rice paper or lettuce rolls.

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I tried this recipe, but it didn't turn out well. I think I used the wrong type of meat.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several trips to the grocery store to find all of the ingredients.

I wasn't a fan of this recipe. The flavors were just okay, and the texture was a bit too mushy.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.
