½ lime
2 tbsp fish

My recipe
This was a
further experiment with the lab moo recipe which, please note I don’t think I
have posted parts one and two yet so do not look for them.
I put a
small lump of mince in the freezer for a snack size portion so I’m afraid I
don’t know the exact amount but am guessing it’s about 150g. I took a good picture of it so hopefully that
will help.
A nice
dollop of natural yoghurt goes really well to ease the taste of the hot chilli
and some healthy celery sticks to spoon it all up.
You will
see on the picture I added some tomato but it just ended up totally evaporating.
The Thais normally
make this with minced pork. Some basic
ingredients like the chillies, ginger, lime, palm sugar and fish sauce make the
tasty basis, other than that you can try adding whatever.
If you
search for lab moo on google you will find a couple of different Thai recipes.
*****************************************************************************
Chop all
your ingredients.
Fry off
the mince and then drain away the fat; this is important for this recipe as the
end result is just the mince and flavours, there is no sauce.
I use
ginger from the freezer and just grate some in.
Add the
green beans, fish sauce, chilli, palm sugar and soy sauce.
It shouldn’t
take very long; I’d say another 10 mins after the fat is drained.
At the end,
squeeze in your lime then give it a taste.
I always
find this bit difficult as I am not a chef so I can never work out what it
needs.
Usually with
this one, it’s either not hot enough, because with lab moo chillis are a massive
part, I like it really bloody hot, hence the yoghurt.
If it’s
too hot add more sugar and lime.
If it’s
not hot enough and it’s too sweet, more chilli.
As I say
all the time with chilli, best to add gradually because you can always add more
but once they are in, they are in. Not everyone
enjoys a burnt mouth. A good hot dish
though means guzzling more wine J me likey.
When you
are happy (hopefully) with how it tastes, decorate the plate with the celery
and a nice dump of yoghurt.
Happy lab
moo-ing.
Enjoy
