ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Larb

Okay kiddo, let me explain what larb is. Larb is a dish that comes from Laos, which is a country in Southeast Asia. It is made with chopped up meat (usually chicken, beef, or pork) that has been cooked and mixed with herbs, spices, and other yummy things like lime juice and fish sauce.

Larb is usually eaten as a salad, which means it's served cold and doesn't have a lot of sauce. Sometimes people eat it with sticky rice, which helps balance out the flavors.

What makes larb special is that it has a lot of different flavors all mixed together. You might taste things like sweet, sour, salty, and spicy all in one bite! It's a really popular dish in Laos and other nearby countries.

I hope that explains what larb is, kiddo!
