Isaan minced-meat salad of warm chicken, duck, pork or beef tossed with lime, fish sauce, toasted rice powder, chilli, mint, coriander and shallot. Sour, hot, fragrant; canonical Isaan in Bangkok.
Larb (or laap) originated in Laos and the Isaan northeast, where it is the dish of celebrations. The word means 'good fortune'. Bangkok adopted larb through the same labour migration that brought som tam and gai yang. Som Tam Jay So, Supanniga Eating Room and Khua Kling Pak Sod run defensible versions in town.
