Spicy Mushroom Larb

My fancy pants husband knew what larb was, but I have to admit, I didn't know about it until I read about it in Bon Appetit magazine.


Things I changed:

  • I used less oil (I still think I could use even less).

  • I replaced shiitakes with portobellos, because my store didn't have shiitakes.

  • I replaced fish sauce with equal parts coconut aminos and lime juice. Vegan fish sauce requires ingredients I don't keep on hand, and I saw these options by The Stone Soup.

  • I replaced the red chiles with serranos, because my store didn't have red chiles in.

  • I replaced shallots with some red onion, because my store's shallots looked like trash.

  • I replaced scallions with a bunch of chives, because my store was out of scallions

  • ...My store might suck.
