Thai Larp with Sweet Chilli Sauce
This spicy salad hails from the north of Thailand but is now eaten throughout the country - it's known there as larp muang moo and is usually served alongside fresh salad vegetables and herbs to make a light summertime meal. This is the Lanna version (a kingdom of Thailand that existed between the 13th and 18th century) and is flavoured with toasted chilli and, more unusually, a variety of aromatic spices including long pepper, star anise, cloves, cinnamon and mace.
