Mae Jannual Laab Chilli Paste 80g

Mae Jannual Laab Chilli Paste (พริกลาบ แม่จันทร์นวล, phrik kaeng laap mae jan) is a ready-to-use chilli paste from Mae Jannual specifically formulated for making laab (ลาบ) and nam tok (น้ำตก) — two of the most iconic dishes of E-San (Isan) and northern Thai cuisine. Laab is a spiced minced meat salad defined by its complex blend of roasted dried chillies, toasted rice powder (khao khua, ข้าวคั่ว), fresh herbs (mint, coriander, spring onion), fish sauce, and lime juice — producing a dish that is simultaneously spicy, sour, herbal, and deeply aromatic. Nam tok is a closely related dish made with sliced grilled meat rather than minced meat, using the same seasoning base. The characteristic flavour of laab comes from the roasted dried chilli and spice blend, which is the component that Mae Jannual’s paste provides in a convenient, pre-blended format. The 80 g pack is suited to a standard home batch.
