Sorry, this is a northern Minnesota laap. Who knows where / how the restaurant got its idea? The recipe is actually labeled as their pork burger, but when I asked them for their larp recipe this is what I got. I had some at a wedding buffet, along with all sorts of delightful trimmings (for which I also got recipes): pickled red onion, coconut lime rice, (Thai) curry sauce, pickled chilies, kimchi, and soy aioli.
Edited to add: I just checked with the restaurant and they confirmed that the recipe they gave me is what they call larb. I note that @C. sapidus mentioned using ginger as a substitute for galangal here. Galangal isn't as easy to source as ginger where I live, and that may be the reason that the Duluth Grill uses ginger.
