Recipes
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets and steamed
2-10 anchovy fillets, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 hot thai pepper, minced
Laab spice mix
Take a whole head of cauliflower, cut up into pieces no larger than 1 1/2 inches. Steam the cauliflower.
Meanwhile, take 2 to 10 anchovy fillets, and mince. Also mince one large clove of garlic and one small Thai hot pepper. Heat up a wok to a high temperature, add some oil (perhaps the olive oil that the anchovies were packed in), and add the anchovies and garlic. Saute quickly (don't let the garlic turn brown, or it will get bitter), then add the steamed cauliflower. Still over a high flame, continue stir-frying until mainly dry. Now sprinkle about a tablespoon of Laab-namtok seasoning mix over the cauliflower, and serve.
Thai recipes that start with the word "laab" contain ground roasted rice. Laab-namtok is prepared ground roasted rice with other Thai seasonings, including dried chilis, salt, MSG, etc. We got "Sweet Heart" brand at the local Thai market, and it is delicious.
