Spicy Larb image

A larb is a spicy Thai appetizer. This is for tofu but can be easily substituted with my personal preference of ground chicken or even turkey.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found that the recipe was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to taste.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still thought it was delicious. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like your food too spicy.
