The first recipe is okay, but missing a couple of key elements. You need galangal, a rhizome related to ginger--any Asian store will have it. It's the key flavor in laab; if you can't find it, then lower your expectations and use a Tbsp of minced ginger instead.

Shallots are better than onions, red onions better than yellow or white.

Also, fresh lemon grass helps a lot and is generally available in grocery stores these days.
