This recipe originating came from my country home in Issan (Northeast of Thailand). When I wrote this recipe it reminds me of childhood. My mom often cooked larb mu 2-3 times a week. We ate larb mu as a breakfast, a lunch and a dinner. Do not be surprise, my mom owned a pork store in the village. We often ate pork meat if she could not sold it out in that day (just kidding mom).
My mom original recipe always had a cooked pork liver, skin, small intestine and heart. She put every things in a soup pot with 3-4 sliced of crushed bottom part lemongrass, 3-4 sliced of galangal, 3-4 kaffir lime leaves brought it to boil until every things well cooked and tender. She took it out of the pot. Let it cooled down, then sliced pork skin , liver , heart and small intestine into bite size. Set it a aside. Then, placed minced pork in a pot, cooked it thoroughly. Let it cooled down a bit. Combine all the pork skin, liver, heart, small intestine together with minced pork mixing pot. Add fish sauce, lime juices, chillies power and roasted rice powder. Tasted it. Making sure it was delicious before adding sliced green onion, cilantro and mint leaves into mixing pot.
