28/8/2016

You know the drill. 12 letters in and on to L. This means I am almost half way through #shayansglobalcooking challenge.

The challenge is to cook a national dish from every letter in the alphabet. This edition was for L. The front runners were between Lebanon, Lesotho and Laos and I have to say, thankfully Laos won.

I am am not too sure what they have in Lesotho, but I'm guessing it would have been tricky. Lebanon, I am again guessing,  may have been shawarma, which I didn't want. So Laos it was.

Prepping for Larp

Larp
The national dish of Laos is called Larp or Laab. When researching the recipe I searched for Larp and was happy to see the ingredients and what the dish should look like.

Larp is a salad with meat with Far East Asian spices and herbs. The Laos cuisine is very familiar to those of Thailand and Vietnam. This made me happy and excited.

How did I do it? Points and recipe below
  • ​Cut chicken into small pieces and marinade in rice wine vinegar and lime juice
  • Bake uncooked rice in oven for 15 minutes until browned
  • Once the rice has cooled, blitz in food processor
  • On a high heat, chuck in the chicken and cook until browned
  • Cut up all the veg and get the herbs ready. Throw in the garlic, spring onions and Chilli in with the chicken all on a high heat
  • Once cooked and with a bit of colour add fish sauce, the soy sauce and a bit of sugar
  • cook quickly to give colour and then add the coriander and mint in the dish together
  • Finally, chuck in a bit extra garnish of coriander and the blitzed rice and ...

DONE- Larp is served
