Have you ever tried Laap?

No, I haven't. What is it?

It's a delicious dish from Laos. It's actually a type of salad.

Salad? That doesn't sound very filling!

Trust me, it is. It's made with minced meat, herbs, chillies, and lime juice.

That sounds interesting. Is it spicy?

It can be, but it depends on how much chilli you add.

I like spicy food, so I'll have to try it.

You should! It's one of my favourite dishes. It's great with sticky rice.

Is it easy to make?

It's not too difficult. You just need to make sure you have all the ingredients.

I'll have to find a recipe and give it a go.

Let me know how it turns out. Maybe we can have a Laap party!

That sounds like fun. We can all bring our own Laap creations.

Yes! And we can rate them on spice level.

I think I'll have to bring some extra chillies then!

Haha, no problem. The spicier the better!
