Cooking Steps

Cook the garlic rice
1

• Finely chop garlic. 
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash 
of olive oil over medium heat.
• Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add 
jasmine rice, the water (for the rice) and a 
generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and 
keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is 
absorbed, 10 minutes.


TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don’t peek!  

Trim the wombok cups
2

• Meanwhile, trim ends of Bambino wombok and 
separate the leaves. Set aside. 

Get prepped
3

• Thinly slice cucumber into sticks.
• Thinly slice red onion (see ingredients).
• Slice lime into wedges.
• Thinly slice long chilli (if using).  
• Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then 
very finely chop.


TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them into small pieces!  

Cook the lamb
4

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
high heat.
• Cook lamb mince and onion, breaking up with a 
spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. 

Add the flavourings
5

• Reduce heat to medium, then add lime leaves, 
sweet soy seasoning and ginger lemongrass 
paste. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Remove pan from heat, then add oyster sauce,  
a good squeeze of lime juice and the water  
(for the lamb), stirring, until combined. 
• Season to taste with pepper. 

Finish & serve
6

• Bring everything to the table. 
• Fill wombok cups with Thai ginger lamb larb and 
garlic rice. 
• Garnish wombok cups with chilli.
• Serve with any remaining lime wedges and 
cucumber sticks. Enjoy!
