Laab Ped Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sticky Rice

   Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and steam the rice in a bamboo steamer lined with cheesecloth for about 30-40 minutes until cooked through and tender.

2. 2

   Crisp the Duck Skin

   In a skillet over medium heat, add the duck skin and cook until it becomes crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Cook the Ground Duck

   In the same skillet, add the ground duck and cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula while cooking. Drain excess fat if necessary.

4. 4

   Mix the Salad

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground duck, crispy duck skin, mint leaves, cilantro, shallots, and bird's eye chilis. Drizzle with fish sauce and lime juice. Toss everything together gently until well mixed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the laab ped with sticky rice on the side. Enjoy!
