Larb is a traditional Thai salad, most closely associated with Northern and Northeastern Thai cuisine, typically made with minced meat, fresh herbs, lime juice, fish sauce, and toasted rice powder for texture. It’s known for its bright, zesty flavour rather than heavy sauces, making it a lighter option compared to curry-based Thai dishes. Larb is a good example of how varied Thai cuisine can be beyond the more commonly known dishes like Pad Thai and green curry.
