PRODUCT(S) FEATURED:

PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOK TIME: 15 minutes
YIELD: 4-6 servings

Traditionally a meat and veggie salad from Laos, we’ve given larb the Very Good treatment. Serve on a cabbage leaf to make your larb appeal to the eye as much as the stomach. Also fantastic in a bowl or wrap, this meal of seasoned (plant-based) meat, rice, and touch of tang has stuck around for good reason: it hits the spot, every time.

• 1 stalk lemongrass, outer layer removed, tender stem finely chopped
• 1 shallot, minced
