This roasted cauliflower larb is a vibrant, modern take on the classic Lao and Thai minced meat salad. By roasting the cauliflower until perfectly caramelised and tender, you create a savoury base that beautifully absorbs the punchy flavours of lime juice, fish sauce, and aromatic lemongrass. It is an excellent dairy-free option for those seeking a light yet satisfying meal that doesn't compromise on texture or spice.
Ideal as a healthy lunch or a refreshing starter, this dish is defined by its herbaceous finish and the essential crunch of toasted rice powder. Serve the fragrant mixture in crisp Bibb lettuce leaves with sliced cucumber for a cooling contrast. It is a fantastic way to enjoy more vegetables while exploring the complex, zesty profiles of Southeast Asian cuisine.

Ingredients for Roasted Cauliflower Larb

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 green Thai chillies, finely chopped
1 (3-inch) piece lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, finely chopped
4 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped
60ml fish sauce
60ml fresh lime juice
60ml glutinous (sticky) rice

How to make Roasted Cauliflower Larb
Preheat oven to 232°C. Toss cauliflower with oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and well browned, 35–45 minutes. Let cool slightly; chop into pea-size pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add chillies, lemongrass, lime leaves, fish sauce, and lime juice; toss well.
Meanwhile, place rice in a medium skillet and set over medium heat. Toast, shaking pan constantly to keep rice moving, until evenly browned, 10–15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Grind in spice mill to a semifine powder.
Toss spring onions, pea shoots, coriander, mint, and 2 teaspoons toasted rice powder into cauliflower mixture; season with salt. Serve with cucumber, lettuce, and remaining rice powder to make lettuce cups.
