Exactly what I remember from the Thai restaurants that serve larb (our local doesn't, so it was particularly nice to find this recipe, although had to mail order the rice powder)! Made it with ground pork and wild spearmint and served it on a bed of mixed greens from our garden. Especially nice with an extra squirt of fresh lime juice, so have a dish of lime quarters waiting on the table.

This was my first attempt at Thai food and it was extremely successful. Light, fresh and delicious. I used a pork and chicken combination and some chopped coriander (cilantro) along with the mint. I made it a second time and upped the chili a bit. Even better! Thank you so much. It has a permanent place in my recipe collection.
