Lobo Thai Laab Namtok Seasoning Mix, 1.06 Ounce (Pack of 5)

So good it’s not even right. I’ll eat this at least once a week. It is a tad spicy but also full of flavor!

This tastes just like when Mom makes it from scratch - for real. All you have to do is add 1 cup each of fresh chopped green onions, cilantro and sliced shallots or onion of choice. No need to add lime or any other seasonings. 1 packet is enough for 1-1.5 lbs. of meat. It is pretty spicy if you add the whole packet so start out with half and add more to taste. Good with ground chicken or pork and also thinly slicked beef. Server with sliced cucumbers and rice - yum!

This seasoning is fantastic! I’m Vietnamese and I shop at asian grocery stores all the time. I’m used to finding interesting spices, sauces, etc, to help me make my favorite restaurant dishes. So I’m not sure how I’ve been eating larb/namtok for almost 20 years in Chicago and never figured the recipe out - but now I have!!! Thanks to Lobo. The secret is definitely the rice powder, but there is so much more to this packet of seasoning that truly makes the dish. I highly recommend it - cook as directed and place your larb or namtok atop a bed of lettuce, cucumbers, shallots, green onions, cucumbers and plenty of fresh herbs like mint and cilantro. You’ll need to mix the spice packet with some fish sauce, lime, and water to create a “dressing” if you are trying to make your dish a true salad like it is served in restaurants. If you are like me and lucky enough to have some Vietnamese nuoc cham around, use that in lieu of fish sauce for extra umami in your dish. Amazing flavor - so happy to have found this!

It's spicy and good but needs lots of fish sauce. Also, it works much better with lettuce wraps than with cucumber

You don't need to drive an hour to your nearest asian store you can get these here and having authentic-ish Laab is as easy as following directions.

If you like very strong flavors ( citrus and heat), this is a kitchen staple you have to have at hand. I especially love it with cucumbers and cilantro. You won't need to add lime juice, since the citric acid content is high on its own. Mix it with lean hamburger and black beans, corn, and tomatoes (LOVE delmonte jalapeno/habanero canned), and put the mix on cold greens with red onion and cilantro for everything wonderful about Thai and Mexican food. This is Thai, obviously, but if you love hot Mexican flavors you will like Northern Thai, too. I am a hot food fanatic, and this is a staple in my house.

I spent 3 months in Thailand some time ago and always looking for authentic tasting Thai food. My New York restaurants often fail me, dishes are often too much adjusted to the American taste, or too oily and unhealthy. This seasoning mix is very tasty and close to the real thing in Thailand. Talking convenient: I mix it with 1 lb of low fat ground organic chicken. Once cooked I throw in some sliced veggies like shallots, orange or yellow bell peppers, carrots, green onions and some crushed peanuts. Just stir fry for 2 more minutes, keep the veggies crisp, and you are done. Throwing some fresh mint leaves or cilantro makes it even better. Serve it over Jasmine rice. Very quick and easy dinner.

I'm yelling at you Spicy! I didn't want to use less of the package to cut down on spice, so I gifted the rest to a spicy loving friend and will just go ahead and order the toasted rice powder and make my own. Delicious though...

Especias Tailandia muy buenas para quien le gusten sabores exóticos y picante

This is every bit as good as their signature Pad Krapao paste. Superb quality, taste and so easy to use. We like to simply "stir fry" chicken mince or lean pork mince in a bit of water then, when cooked, tip in the contents of the pack, stir for a minute or two, and serve.Favourite way of eating Laab is to take apart an Iceberg, Romaine or Sweet Gem lettuce, chill the leaves then use them to scoop the Laab out of the wok. Mmmmmm, it's that classic sweet, savoury, spicy, tender and crunchy combo🤤.I make Laab from scratch, roast and powder the rice myself...the whole nine yards. But this is so good that it's one of those "but why bother" products, when you want a night off from the cooker.

Yummy

Ich liebe es
