Spicy Mushroom Larb image

We've never met a riff on larb that we didn't like, including this vegetarian version, which forgoes the typical meat or fish for crispy shiitake mushrooms.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
1½ lb. shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps quartered
6 scallions, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
Kosher salt
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced, rinsed
2 red chiles (such as Holland, Fresno, or Thai), thinly sliced
2 cups mint leaves, torn if large
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
½ cup coarsely chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, divided
½ head of green cabbage, halved crosswise, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Heat 5 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add mushrooms and cook, tossing often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until golden brown all over, about 15 minutes.
  • Add scallions, garlic, and ginger to skillet, followed by remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Cook, stirring often, until aromatics are softened and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat; season mushroom mixture lightly with salt. Mix in shallots, chiles, mint, fish sauce, and half of peanuts. Taste and season larb with more salt if needed.
  • Transfer larb to a platter or large bowl. Serve with cabbage and remaining peanuts alongside.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The spiciness of the chili peppers is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the mushrooms and the sourness of the lime juice. I also appreciate the fact that this dish is relatively easy to make.
