How to Make Laab Thai Ground Beef Salad
- Toast 1/2 cup of uncooked glutinous rice in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, shaking frequently, until golden brown (about 8 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- While the rice is toasting, in a medium bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 4 finely chopped shallots, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
- Once the rice is cooled, add it to a spice grinder or blender and grind into a fine powder.
- In the same skillet, add the beef mixture over high heat. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped scallions, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1-2 teaspoons garlic chili pepper sauce (adjust to taste), and 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Add the ground rice to the beef mixture and stir well to combine.
- To serve, spoon the Laab into a serving bowl lined with butter lettuce leaves (you'll need about 2 heads of butter lettuce, or approximately 24 leaves), or serve on individual lettuce leaves for a beautiful presentation.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
