    No particular secret, I get a lot of recipes from youtube channels. Yeung Man Cooking makes pretty good panang curry and khao soi. My favorite pad thai recipe is from the Vegan Black Metal Chef’s first video way back in 2011 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZlih4DDNg

    I’m not vegan so I usually add chicken breast. Never tried making larb at home but I love it. I just buy the ingredients. The one year I tried to grow basil at home it all died lol.

      larb is so easy. i will take a photo of the spice pack later and update this, if i have still forgetten in four hours bug me. you use that, fish sauce, and lime. add it to your meat (ground beef because poverty is fun!), cook it on med-high to high on your cast iron if you don’t have a wok (if you have a wok idk i don’t have a wok) then add some cilantro and scallion greens as a garnish. sometimes we’ll do larb lettucewraptacos with rice, sometimes just chop up some lettuce and make a rice bowl. it is very complicated.

      i don’t know if there’s a specific region this style ties to, but i learned it from some Lao clients.

        The only larb I’ve had in restaurants is ground chicken, which isn’t common at regular grocery stores. That’s why I haven’t tried making it. But I’ll try using ground beef, which I happen to have.

          SPICE PACKET THANK YOU Okay give me a minute it’s not uploading and I’m not taking another photo

          THERE. a little of this goes a long way. It’s both kinds of spicy (very flavorful and kinda hot) so enjoy. I use it on ground beef and ground pork, but also we got this great asada cut from the carneceria I want to try it with
