Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the onion and tomatoes

  • Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure ½ cup [1 cup]. 
  • Cut away the cores from the tomatoes; cut the tomatoes lengthwise into quarters.

2

Prep your protein

  • Ground meat: Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. 
  • Shrimp: Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes.
  • Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel.

3

Cook the larb

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion and curry paste and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. 

Add your protein, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat if using, until the protein is browned and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes for regular shrimp; 4 to 6 minutes for jumbo shrimp, tofu, or plant-based chicken; and 5 to 7 minutes for ground meat. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare the mint and salad.

4

Prep the mint; make the salad

  • Zest and juice the lime, keeping the zest and juice separate.
  • Thinly slice the mushrooms.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems for garnish.

In a large bowl, stir together the lime zest, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lime juice, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the mixed greens and mushrooms and toss to coat.

Serve

Transfer the salad to individual bowls and top with the larb. Garnish with the mint and serve.
