Best Larb Khua in Chiang Mai

Larb Khua is the Northern version of the famous meat salad, distinct from the Isan style. It is made by pan-frying minced meat with a complex blend of dried spices and herbs. The spice mix includes prickly ash which gives it a unique numbing sensation similar to Sichuan pepper. It contains no lime juice or fish sauce, relying instead on the intense aroma of the spices. This dish is traditionally eaten with balls of sticky rice to balance the heat.
