Thai Larb Salad ~ Gai Yang with Sweet Chilli Sauce

The spicy and enticing flavours of northern Thai cuisine…

More info

This month we've got two dishes that hail from the north of Thailand but are now eaten throughout the country. To begin, a spicy pork salad known as larp muang moo which is served with crunchy lettuce leaves and cucumber. This is the Lanna version (a kingdom of Thailand that existed between the 13th and 18th century) and is flavoured with toasted chilli but more unusually a variety of aromatic spices including long pepper, star anise, cloves, cinnamon and mace. For the main course we’ve got gai yang - Thailand’s delicious version of grilled chicken served with sweet chilli sauce and a tangy tamarind sauce.
