Ingredients (for 2 servings)
- 1 sachet (30g) LOBO LAAB-NAMTOK SEASONING MIX
- 300g Pork Mince (pork with a 20% fat content is ideal for flavour)
- 60ml (approx. 4 tbsp) Water
- 1-2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice (to your taste)
- 1-2 tbsp Fish Sauce (to your taste)
- 2-3 Shallots, thinly sliced
- A generous handful of Fresh Mint Leaves
- A handful of Fresh Coriander, roughly chopped
- 2-3 Spring Onions, finely chopped
- To Serve:
- Glutinous rice or Jasmine rice
- Fresh vegetables like lettuce cups, cucumber slices, and long beans
Method
- Cook the Pork: Place the pork mince and the 60ml of water into a small saucepan or frying pan. Stir-fry over a medium heat, breaking up the mince with a spatula. Cook until the pork is just done and the water has mostly evaporated. This method cooks the pork gently in its own juices.
- Season the Laab: Take the pan off the heat. Immediately add the entire contents of the LOBO Laab-Namtok Seasoning Mix to the warm pork. Stir everything together thoroughly.
- The Final Flavours: This next step is where the magic happens. While the pork is still warm (but off the heat), add the fish sauce and the fresh lime juice. Stir well. Now is the time to taste and adjust – if you want it saltier, add a splash more fish sauce; for more zing, add more lime juice.
- Add the Fresh Herbs: Add the sliced shallots, spring onions, coriander, and most of the mint leaves to the pan. Gently toss everything together until the herbs are just combined. You don’t want to cook them, just let them wilt slightly in the residual heat.
- Serve Immediately: Spoon the Laab Moo onto a plate. Garnish with the remaining fresh mint leaves. Serve straight away with a side of Glutinous rice and crisp, fresh vegetables.

Note
- The Power of the Packet: The LOBO Laab-Namtok Seasoning Mix is a fantastic shortcut because it already contains the most essential dry ingredients for Laab: toasted rice powder (Khao Khua), chilli powder, and other spices.
- Fresh is Best: While the Lobo mix is great, the addition of fresh herbs like mint, coriander, and shallots is what truly brings the dish to life and makes it taste authentic. Don’t skip them!
- Other Meats: This recipe works brilliantly with other minced meats like chicken, turkey, or beef. For a vegetarian version, you can use crumbled firm tofu or finely chopped mushrooms.
