Questions

What can I use instead of fish sauce in Larb Ped?

The entry for Larb Ped calls for 2 tbsp fish sauce. In its place: Soy sauce with a squeeze of lime covers the salt and some of the savor. For a vegetarian version, use a mushroom-based soy sauce. Start with the same volume and adjust.

Can I make Larb Ped less spicy?

Yes. The heat in Larb Ped comes from 1 tsp Thai chili flakes. For a milder plate, remove the seeds and ribs from the chili flakes, or use half; nothing else in the method changes.

Can I make Larb Ped dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Larb Ped is 2 tbsp butter, 8 leaves butter lettuce or romaine. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Does Larb Ped contain fish?

Yes: 2 tbsp fish sauce. The full allergen list for this entry is dairy and fish. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
