Recipe Thai pork larb
Make the classic Thai larb with ground toasted rice, a seasoning which gives larb its unique character and adds a slight crunch and smokiness. What a way to say I larb you.
Recipe tips
The maple syrup, although not traditional, helps to balance out the sour taste of lime juice to make this larb more palatable.

Ingredients
- 15g/½oz uncooked glutinous rice
- 1½ tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 large banana shallot, finely sliced
- 1–2 tsp dried red chilli flakes
- 250g/9oz pork mince
- small handful fresh mint leave, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced
- ¼ tsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1 Little Gem lettuce, trimmed and leaves separated (optional)
- Thai sticky rice, cooked, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Put the uncooked glutinous rice into a shallow frying pan over a medium-high heat and toast until the rice turns golden in colour, about 7–8 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Use a food processor to grind the toasted rice, or pound it with a pestle and mortar, until it reaches a fine, sand-like texture.
- Mix together the fish sauce, lime juice, shallots, chilli flakes and ground toasted rice in a small bowl. This is your larb dressing.
- Add 1–2 tablespoons of water to a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the minced pork and stir until the pork is cooked through – about 7–8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Pour the larb dressing over the cooked pork then add the mint, coriander, spring onion and maple syrup, if using. Fold the ingredients together before serving on a bed of Little Gem lettuce and Thai sticky rice, if you like.
