Tofu Larb

tofu-larb

Larb is a quick, easy and healthy appetizer with a zing to it. Typically, this dish is made in Thailand using pork (“moo”) and therefore called moo-larb. This one is our take on it that is either fine for pescatarians or with a slight modification, great for pure vegetarians.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Cup white rice
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 250g of firm tofu, crumbled
  • 3 tsp golden dragon sauce [rml_read_more]
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced
  • 1/2 C cilantro, chopped
  • 2 inch ginger, julienned into 1/4″ (0.5 cm) slivers
  • 2 small Thai green chilies (or more to taste)
  • 3 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Cup bean sprouts

Method:

Toast the white rice in a pan till the grains have a golden brown color. Give it a quick grind in a blender or mortar and pestle. Do not pulverize or powder it. The rice adds a bit of the crunch. Set aside.

Saute the sliced onions in 2t of vegetable oil till they are soft but not browned. Add to this the crumbled tofu and mix. To this add the nampla or vinegar and mix till all the water disappears and the tofu starts to get a little brown on the edges. Do not overcook! Take it off the stove into a mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients (don’t forget the rice), mix well and serve in lettuce, endive or savoy cabbage leaves (as shown).

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
