ceviche Laos style

so yesterday i brought some speared rockfish over to my buddys house , there laoation* folks who really kow how to put together flavorfull food , there the ones who showed me greatness that is stickyrice PLUS some very unique spicy dipping sauces. yesterday he prepared me some  what he called "laos style ceviche" even though its a traditional way that they prepare fish in there country.
he chopped up:
mint
ginger
cilantro
green onions
lime juice
msg
real fish sauce (fermenting fish)
thai peppers
and he burnt some  rice on the stove to a blacken color then grinded it up in his little bowl thing to a powder then mixed it in with everything
served it with sticky rice , sliced up cucumbers and lettace wraps! it was killer!

I don't have to see the picture to know it's good.  Your description and ingredients says said it all

thanks for sharing that andy, sounds absolutely delicious, cameron

I love that stuff Andy. I too learned from my Laosian coworkers. We will have to make some at Albion and GSV.

then grinded it up in his little bowl thing to a powder

Mortar and pestle, one of the oldest tools around.  I need one!

That sounds amazing...  never woulda thought of the blackened rice thing.

I love larb or laap.  Just so refreshing.

My wife and I love larb and make it often with ground turkey, pork, or beef.  As an easy alternative to the burnt rice, I buy the small bags of rice crispies that they sell in the Asian markets.  I'm gonna have to try it "ceviche style" with the minced raw fish marinated in lime juice.

Andy that looks delicious.  Thanks for posting it!

Yummy I'm going to have to try this one. I got to catch me some rockfish like tomorrow.

I'm a very big fan of ceviche  Perhaps a ceviche cook off is in order.....and i'll gladly volunteer myself as one of the judges

Let's do it for Albion.  I'll submit a sample.

Count me in!
I have a great recipe involving tequila. Can't go wrong!

yum, the Laos know how to do it! Still never quite got used to duck blood larb, though (larb leut ped).

Everytime I make that at our potluck, it seems I never make enough of it. People
would have seconds or third and if others doesn't make it on time, they don't get
to taste any. Since others will make the Labb at Albion, I'll bring
just 3lbs this time.

This stuff is soooooo good too bad I can't make it to Alibon for the cook off.I'm sure there's a lot of very good recipes I'm going to be missing out

I used to hang out with a crew of thai boxers from thailand who turned me on to Laarp, sticky rice, lao sausages, and some other raw shrimp thing they would put so many hot peppers in to kill the germs it would give you STING RING the next day!!!! Lao Food is the bomb!
