Cauliflower might not be a traditional ingredient in larb recipes, but the toasted rice powder is. Look for sticky rice in the bulk bin and the international section.

    6 servings

Ingredients

1

large head of cauliflower, cut into large florets with some stalk attached

3

tablespoons olive oil

3

green Thai chiles, finely chopped

1

3-inch piece lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, finely chopped

4

makrut (Thai) lime leaves, finely chopped

¼

cup fish sauce

¼

cup fresh lime juice

¼

cup glutinous (sticky) rice

5

2

cups chopped pea shoots (tendrils)

1

cup chopped cilantro

1

cup chopped mint

Kosher salt

Sliced Persian cucumber and Bibb lettuce leaves (for serving)

Special Equipment

A spice mill

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°. Toss cauliflower with oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and well browned, 35–45 minutes. Let cool slightly; chop into pea-size pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add chiles, lemongrass, lime leaves, fish sauce, and lime juice; toss well.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, place rice in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Toast, shaking pan constantly to keep rice moving, until evenly browned, 10–15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Grind in spice mill to a semifine powder.

    Step 3

    Toss scallions, pea shoots, cilantro, mint, and 2 tsp. toasted rice powder into cauliflower mixture; season with salt. Serve with cucumber, lettuce, and remaining rice powder to make lettuce cups.

  • Why do you hide the recipe. It is there I am sure but why is it so hard to find?
