Our Impossible Larb recipe is a perfect, easy weeknight dinner; it whips up in a flash and is a guilt-free indulgence. It's packed with flavor and will immediately become your new favorite. Larb is considered a traditional meat salad with origins in Laos and is also quite popular in Thailand. This particular Impossible™ Larb recipe is a delicious mix of bright flavors, fresh herbs and spices.

This plant-based dish is plated on a bed of lettuce and is surprisingly filling. While larb is traditionally made using a number of different meatsm Impossible™ Beef makes for a great base protein because it crumbles and browns perfectly, acting as a complement to the crispiness of the lettuce and onions, while taking on the light sweetness of the coconut oil it’s cooked in.

This recipe is made with Impossible™ Beef Meat From Plants

12 Ingredients

12 oz Impossible™ Beef Meat From Plants
Uncooked Sticky Rice, 0.25 Cup
0.25 tsp Chili Powder
2 Green Onions, thinly sliced
1/4 Red Onion, thinly sliced
Plant-based Fish Sauce, 2 Tablespoons

How to prepare

Step 1: MAKE ROASTED RICE POWDER

Place uncooked sticky rice in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until grains are toasted and deep golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer cooled, toasted rice to a spice grinder and grind to a coarse powder. If necessary, work in batches. The powder should resemble fine coffee grounds.

Step 2: COOK THE IMPOSSIBLE BEEF

In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, crumble the Impossible Beef into the pan, and season lightly with salt. Cook over medium high heat for 10 minutes or until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: ADD SEASONING

When the Impossible Beef is browned, add chili powder and 1½ tablespoons of roasted rice powder. Add the green and red onions. Mix in the lime zest and fish sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, and remove from heat. *Make it plant-based with plant-based fish sauce!
