Laap (Isaan)

Salad with chopped meat

"Laap" ( ลาบ ) is a classic dish from Isaan, the northeastern region of Thailand. It’s made with minced meat, fish, or mushrooms. The minced ingredients are mixed with herbs, roasted rice powder, and coarse chili powder, and seasoned with lime juice and fish sauce.

Laap is also found in northern Thailand, but it’s prepared differently there as “Laap Lanna”. Today, Isaan-style Laap enjoys great popularity throughout Thailand.
