Tempeh larb in lettuce cups
Toasted rice powder is what makes a larb taste like larb, and toasted sesame seeds ground the same way get close enough that only somebody looking for it would notice.

Method
6 steps · 20 minutes
- Toast the sesame seeds dry until they smell nutty, then grind them coarse in a mortar. Powder is too fine — you want grit.
- Steam the tempeh 10 minutes, then crumble it.
- Fry the crumbs in the oil until they are properly crisp, 8 minutes. Larb is a texture before it is a flavor.
- Off the heat, dress with the lime and fish sauce. Hot pan, and the lime cooks and turns dull.
- Fold in the shallot, herbs, pepper flakes and most of the ground sesame.
- Spoon into lettuce cups at the last minute and put the rest of the sesame on top. Dressed early, the cups go limp.
