The Laab kai<\/strong>, also spelled larb gai, is a Thai minced chicken salad flavoured with lime juice, fish sauce, fresh herbs and toasted sticky rice powder. Originally from Isaan, in northeastern Thailand, this chicken laab is generally served warm or at room temperature, accompanied by sticky rice and raw vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laab can also be made with pork\u2014in which case it is called laab moo\u2014as well as beef, duck, fish or shrimp. In this recipe, I use chicken and a moderate amount of chilli, which you can, of course, adjust to your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laab, larb, lap or laap: which spelling should you use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Le nom de ce plat varie car, en Tha\u00ef, on ne prononce presque pas les consonnes finales. On avale les sons. Il est donc difficile de d\u00e9finir avec pr\u00e9cision si on utilise plut\u00f4t le son \u00ab\u00a0p\u00a0\u00bb ou \u00ab\u00a0b\u00a0\u00bb \u00e0 la fin du mot. Larb<\/em> serait plut\u00f4t la prononciation anglophone et laab<\/em> la version francophone. C’est assez amusant, en Tha\u00eflande, il y a diff\u00e9rentes mani\u00e8res d’\u00e9crire les mots avec notre alphabet. Dans ma r\u00e9gion, les panneaux de signalisation des localit\u00e9s sont \u00e9crits en tha\u00ef et en anglais. Le nom d’un m\u00eame village n’est pas \u00e9crit de la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re d’un panneau \u00e0 l’autre. On voit diff\u00e9rentes versions : Ban, Bhan, Bahn, juste pour ne citer qu’un exemple.<\/p>
