Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps with Nam Jim

  • Family Friendly ●
  • Fast

We're not mincing our words when we say that Thai-style larb has to be one of the best meat salads going round. Tangy, sweet and waiting to be fulfilled with your desired level of spice, this simple meal is whatever you need it to be. You can serve it with noodles or rice and lettuce cups, as we have. You'll usually always find a cucumber in the mix and a peanut never goes astray. We've added extra nam jim sauce, because we can't stop dousing it over everything.
