I like thai food very much. Thai Cuisine is known for its balance of five fundamental flavors in each dish or the overall meal - hot (spicy), sour, sweet, salty and bitter (optional). I think this spicy ground beef is a great example of thai cuisine. I will try it.
Thanks for posting this nice spicy ground beef recipe.

Our favourite is Laab Gai (using chicken in place of the beef). Just follow their recipe and use skinless boneless chicken mince. Remember a salad is always the hottest of a Thai meal. The roasted rice (Khao Kua Pon) gives a special flavour to dishes from Issan/Northeast Thailand.
You can buy the roasted rice at SE Asian markets in a bottle and it works fine, but it is easy to make.
Use a good quality fish sauce/nam pla like Golden Boy or Dragonfly.
What she calls Laos Parsley is also known as Pak Chee Farang and is often found in Ssian markets, or in Mexican Markets where it is called Culantro.
Laab is also wonderful to serve in lettuc cups of Boston Bibb leaf or even iceberg if you prefer.
Sticky rice is soaked, then steamed in a bamboo cone over boiling water covered with a damp towel.
I adore Thai food and have traveled to the Kingdom of Thailand 30+ times. I am the ThaiFoodEditor on Bellaonline.com
