Morel Mushroom Laab is a traditional Thai dish that is typically made with ground meat. This vegan version uses diced morel mushrooms and king trumpet mushrooms instead, creating a flavorful and satisfying vegetarian dish. The dish is seasoned with spicy Thai chili peppers, tangy lime juice, and sweet palm sugar, giving it a balance of flavors that is characteristic of Thai cuisine. Laab is often served as a light lunch or dinner, and it can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy it as a wrap, a salad, or a side dish with rice!
