What is lahpet thoke?

Burmese tea leaf salad - fermented tea leaves tossed with shredded cabbage, tomato, fried beans and peas, peanuts, sesame seeds and fried garlic, dressed with fish sauce and lime.

Is it spelled lahpet or laphet?

Both, along with laphet thoke and simply tea leaf salad. They are transliterations of the same Burmese name; lahpet is the fermented tea leaf itself and thoke means salad.

Where do I buy fermented tea leaves?

Pre-packaged lahpet is sold at most Asian grocery stores and online. It is the one ingredient with no real substitute - the fermented, slightly bitter leaf is what the dish is built around.

Can I make it vegetarian?

Fish sauce is the only non-vegetarian ingredient. Soy sauce in the same quantity keeps the salt and savoury depth, though the flavour shifts slightly.

Why serve it immediately?

The fried beans, peas, peanuts and garlic are the whole texture of the dish, and they soften once the dressing is on. It is traditionally mixed at the table for exactly this reason.

How long does it take?

About 25 minutes, and almost all of that is preparation - there is no cooking beyond toasting and frying the crunchy elements.
