Instruções

Prep work:

Thinly cut red onions along the grain into thin strips. (Optionally, soak the red onions in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain to reduce the raw bite)

Remove mint leaves from the stems. Finely chop up green onions and cilantro

Make the Toasted Rice Powder:

In a dry pan over medium heat, toast two tablespoons of sticky rice with 2–3 kaffir lime leaves. Stir frequently and toast until the rice is golden brown and fragrant (about 5–7 minutes)

Remove from heat, discard the lime leaves, and grind the toasted rice into a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Set aside

Prepare the Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix together two tablespoons of fish sauce, the juice of two limes, a teaspoon of sugar, and a tablespoon of crushed dried chili

Stir until the sugar is dissolved

Put it all together:

Open canned tuna and drain. Add tuna to a mixing bowl along with the thinly sliced red onions, green onions, cilantro, and mint

Pour over sauce and mix well. Then add in toasted rice powder and gently toss to combine

Serve:

Plate the larb with fresh lettuce, cabbage leaves, or cucumber slices, and sticky rice on the side

Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
