  1. This recipe is missing essential ingredients: LEMONGRASS: freshly chopped in tiny rings Sesame oil: 1-2 tsp (a few sesame seeds optional) Gallanga root (if not available use young ginger): a tiny bit finely chopped Red/Green chillies: amount to taste -- chopped NO CAYENNE PEPPER!!!!! No chile past necessary. Also garlic should be finely minced and browned in a little oil instead of the paste.
     
  2. I am Thai so I love this recipe but some of the stuff in here is not needed. I just cook with Spring Onions, Cilantro, Fish Sauce, Lime, and spices. I don't put more than that but it seems good. I will try it sometimes.
     
  3. Not spicy enough and no where close to the original Laap (spelled Larb in English by Thais). Make the laap dish the original Lao (or Northern/Northeast Lao of Thailand) way, once you taste it no other version won't be as satisfying to your taste buds!
     
  4. can we use chicken leg insteed of chicken breast so that a its look good as well as taste wise perfectely
     
  5. this gets all five stars for being simple, healthy and delicious - we have a great Thai restaurant close by but my family prefers this one over most restaurants!
