When in Hoi An, I do overdose of Cao Lau. And rightfully so because it is DELICIOUS. The prep and cooking of it though would make it a rather rare dish though since it does require a fair bit of prep and cooking time. BUT THAT FLAVOUR.. UGH.
So! I promised I would try and replicate that flavour and streamline it down into a cooking style that works for me but without sacrificing that nom nom nomminess.
Yeah it’s not a word but deal with it!
This is a classic chicken salad from the Thailand, Cambodian Laos area. The proper name is Larb Gai and is quite often served with steamed rice or in lettuce cups. We’ve been a bit crafty in omitting some of the less healthy ingredients (namely – sugar!) but the taste is still fresh and amazing!
