Pork Larb

Larb is a classic South-Asian dish bursting with bold, fresh flavours. Juicy minced pork is seasoned with lime juice, fish sauce, and chilli, then tossed with aromatic herbs like mint and coriander. Light, zesty, and spicy, it’s perfect served in crisp lettuce leaves for a refreshing, hand-held meal that’s both vibrant and satisfying. Perfect for a light lunch or healthy dinner. To change things up, try using chicken, turkey or tofu instead.
