My Thai husband teaches me how to cook LAAB, spicy salad from Thailand! | Cooking with Mon

- In today's video, we are cooking LAAB, one of our favourite Thai dishes and a great dish if you are on a low-carb diet. Laab is a healthy and fresh dish, as we use no oil in this dish and lots of fresh herbs.
LAAB Recipe
Laab is a dish from the Isan, the North-East of Thailand, but it's a very popular dish that is eaten everywhere in Thailand.
In essence, it's a minced meat salad, usually cooked with minced chicken, beef or pork, but like I mention in the video, Laab is almost a concept, and it can be combined with any kind of protein, so even duck, shrimp, raw salmon or tuna, tofu or mushroom for a vegetarian version.
Ingredients for the basic recipe:
● Any type of meat (or mushroom for the
vegetarian version)
● Cilantro or coriander
● Mint
● Shallots (or red onion or normal onion)
● Spring onion or green onion
● Toasted rice (dry rice toasted in a pan and ground to a powder)
● Fish sauce (vegetarians can use salt instead or vegan fish sauce)
● Lime
● Dried red chilli powder (you can make it yourself like in the video or buy ready-made)
Preparation:
Make sure you chop all the greens in advance. The cooking time of this dish is very short and you want to be ready. Either cut the meat into very small pieces or use minced meat to start with. If you keep the meat in bigger chunks, it will also taste great, but then the dish will be called NAM TOK (waterfall) instead of LAAB.
Put it in a pan with a few spoons of water and stir. Keep stirring until the meat is well done. Turn off the fire.
Add all the greens, a bit of dried chilli powder, fish sauce, and lime to your taste and stir. Try to find the right balance of sour, salty, and spicy that fits your taste.
Taste the mixture, and add more of any flavour you need, fish sauce of salt for salty taste, lime for sour, and chilli flakes for spicy. It's better to add a little first and keep adding until you reach the harmony of flavours we are looking for.
At last, sprinkle the toasted rice for a crunchy bite.
Laab is usually served and eaten with sticky rice and fresh veggies like cabbage, cucumber, thai basil, and green beans.
Enjoy!

We've just made this and guys... thank you so much! My partner had a bit of trouble without measurements. But luckily I could convince him to trust the process and his taste buds. So yummie! And we had such a lovely time cooking together too. Would love for you to do more videos like this. Lots of love to you from Sweden :)
Oh wow how amazing to hear! Will definitely do more soon!
Looks 😍

Hopefully Mon realised that the religion that he was born into is being proven the Truth Scintifically by Many Much More Intellegent People than us the layman.

Plan to!

I love the crunch when you ate the Laab! I like this content and the recipe. Mayaan keeping it light and Mon keeping it real!
I have a confession to make Maayan. When it comes to food, I am totally hopeless. I am 100% not choosy or picky and I leave the ordering to my spouse or children when we eat out. I specialise in eating whatsoever they order and paying. That’s all. At home, my spouse cooks whatsoever she likes. No need to ask me. Btw my eldest son graduated in culinary from university and enjoys cooking Thai dishes as well. My motto. You cook I eat. Hahaha 😝 😂 😜 Nice video from both of you. Laab 😋 Thank you.
Haha that's a great motto. Nice and easy. But honestly, this dish even you can do, guaranteed. 😂
You can feel the laab ❤️❤️❤️
Looks delicious and fairly easy to make with accessible ingredients
It's so easy! And you can get all the ingredients in the מכולת nearby. Not sure about fish sauce though.
@@SweetLifeLanta maybe not in the makolet, but definitely in the Asian food store in my city. Surprisingly, my cousin, who lives in the Otef area, once took me to their local makolet, which has/had basic Thai grocery supplies for the many agricultural workers working in their moshav. So I'd stock up on good cooking peanuts etc. Sadly, after many were killed and kidnapped, I'm not sure how many of them are left in the area)
@@tamarf4596 😢😢😢 no words.
Maayan .....
Thank you for this Laab dish....
An interesting take on mince and veggies ❤👏
Mon is a good instructor ❤
Try it, it's delish!
Thanks! Good to see you two again.
i have Thai friends here in Europe. Nice people.
This is amazing. As instructed by P'Mon it looks authentic and beautiful. This is one of my all-time favorite dishes.
BTW fish sauce can make the magic happens as it is the quickest way to reach the sweet spot or UMAMI in Thai cuisine.
Wow, did not realize it's so easy to prepare....tks for sharing.
Surprising isn't it?! A lot of Thai dishes are really too easy to prepare. But sometimes you might need some special ingredients that you cannot always get around the corner. But what I love about laab is that you can easily find all the ingredients.
In Asia Shop you can buy green and red Thai curry paste. I bought once the green curry paste, it was too spicy, I couldn’t finish it in many years 🌶️😂
I'm so so happy you're focusing on low carbs. It's the only way I can lose weight. I've struggled here in Thailand because I don't have access to the tried and true foods that kept me on track in the USA. I have gained 5 lbs recently and need to lose that and an extra 5. Please Please Please share more content focused on your weight loss food plans.
Cabbage and cauliflower instead of rice is my to go to at the moment!
Such a delicious dish❤- wonderful inspiration for lunch today. At the moment we have fresh- home- grown lettuce in the greenhouse, which is availabe with it. We currently eat salad every day, we have to be faster than the snails😂😂- we need a few ducks from Mon, they would enjoy the snails😅. And here in Germany it's strawberry season - they 're available as dessert. And i want to cook chicken with cashew nuts with Mon and you - i love this dish - one of my favorite dishes when i was in Thailand❤❤ greetings from Germany to the whole family❤❤
Oh I love European strawberries, so big and juicy. Here the strawberries are tiny and sour 😅😅😅, chicken Cashew nut! Good idea!
laab is just the best ♥

Thank you❤ this looks delicious!
I would love to see a proper sticky rice recipe! Your recipe!
Love watching you two. It gives me good vibes 🤗 stay healthy and happy!
Thanks! Sticky rice, as in, mango sticky rice?
Nice one guys. Pleased things have settled down for you. These cook ups are a great idea. Maybe kick start Mon's channel with a few too :)
We might move Cooking with Mon to Sweet Life Lanta! Otherwise it's impossible for me to run Mon's channel and mine at the same time so that might be a good solution.
God bless your family❤
A very nice video. Keep doing what you do. You 2 are great.
Ziet er heerlijk uit 😊
We made our version with firm tofu as we aren't meat eater but that was awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Wow wonderful! And I really love it with mushroom too. You can cut them very small or bigger chunks, both delicious.
Sloo mooo.... shake it..shake it !😅😂😅😅
there are many foreigners have never try fish sauce. At first they said, what's that bad smell until they try with hot steamed rice. They're cannot live without fish sauce anymore hahaha. Most of Thaifood they used it.
First time I tried fish sauce, I was 20, and it was with prik nam pla on the table. I had no idea what it was, but I just LOVED it. Every restaurant I went, I was looking for that magical prik nam pla on the table, haha...
I laab ❤this video! 😊
Thanks! Laab to you! ❤
Thanks!
Ahh so sweet ❤❤❤
SO ENTERTAINING 👋👋👋👌👍😁
very good
❤wowwwww
😋
Het ziet er lekker uit hoor! Aroj maek
❤🎉😊 beautiful video so nice
Sweet! I plan to make this dish using tofu & mushrooms as you suggested for protein instead of sentient beings. But what was the vegetable? Love the background noise! Lots of Laab.
Yes you should definitely try! It's actually an amazing vegan dish, just need to substitute the fish sauce with salt, although from what I understood there is even vegan fish sauce (here on the island we can't get that so I've never tried). The vegetables we use are mint, coriander, green onion and shallots. And we ate it with cabbage but you can also have cucumbers or raw green beans instead. Btw, the step by step recipe is available in the video description.
Natural medicine station here I love your channel sister and brother
That looks great. I will try this. Can you use onion instead of shallots? I would like to know how to make Pad krapow
Yes you can!
נראה טעיםםםםםם
פשוט טעים ברמות. וכל כך קל להכין. לפני המון שנים בישלנו את זה לחברה שלי בתל אביב ומצאנו את הכל המצרכים במכולת למטה
Gracias! My 2 cond favorite .
First one is pad see ew.
That one is a great dish. We can do this one after my 30 days challenge (because no carbs...)
Beautiful can't wait to try it . Where did you use the rice powder. I've tried many time to make green chicken but doesn't taste like Thai . I'm from New Zealand and have been to Thailand many times so yeah it's the green curry and red duck curry. But don't know if we have the right ingredients here .❤
The rice powder is added at the end with all the greens. You can find a step by step recipe in the video description. Let us know how it was if you end up cooking! For Laab you can easily find all the ingredients in the grocery store in New Zealand, I'm sure. And one day we will teach curry, absolutely!
@@SweetLifeLanta ohh yes for laabs definitely.
Green Thai curry
Red Thai curry not so sure .
Thank you
Can't wait to try the laab.
There's only one thing I'm missing in this video.......Milו and Mano😂❤❤❤
Hahaha I know.... soon something for you
Will you please make a video on how to make chili paste?
Which chili paste do you mean exactly, can you elaborate please?
Wow that looks delicious. Dont like coriander, but will try anyway. What an amazing view of your garden. ❤the way you work together. You are such beautiful souls. Mothers Day in Sweden tomorrow. Happy Day Maayan & all other Mothers out there! Namaste! 💕💕💕💕💐💝
Ps bought ingredient & going to do for my kids/grandkids when they come tomorrow. With Salmon & shrimps.
You can easily leave out the coriander, just add some more green onion and mint instead.
I love your videos. Please keep doing them! I hope you are both doing ok. Keeping you in prayer🙏❤🌻
A proper update next weekend!
👍👍 Singapore
Good morning, let's cook❤
My son would like to follow a course of pastry '' patisserie ''. Do you know where he could go ? Thanks! 🙏
