A delightful twist on the classic Thai Laab, these wraps are packed with vibrant flavors and textures.
Toast the rice in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.
Keep stirring the rice to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
Combine the ground beef, juice of one lime, fish sauce, chopped shallots, and grated ginger in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Cook the beef mixture in the skillet over high heat, breaking it into small pieces, until fully cooked.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for the best flavor.
Grind the toasted rice into a fine powder using a grinder.
Let the rice cool before grinding to avoid clumping.
Mix the cooked beef with the ground rice, remaining lime juice, chopped scallions, mint, cilantro, chili sauce, and sugar.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the beef mixture in lettuce leaves and garnish with additional mint leaves.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter for an attractive presentation.
