Larb Gai [0000168]

Ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken
2 tablespoons gluten-free fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon gluten-free toasted rice powder (ground rice)
2-3 green onions, finely chopped
1-2 fresh red or green Thai chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Lettuce leaves or cabbage leaves, for serving

Instructions:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until it's fully cooked and crumbled. Make sure there are no pink parts left. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the gluten-free toasted rice powder by toasting uncooked rice in a dry skillet until it turns golden brown. Grind the toasted rice into a powder using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.

In a bowl, mix together the gluten-free fish sauce and lime juice.

Add the cooked ground chicken to the bowl with the fish sauce and lime juice mixture. Mix well to combine.

Add the gluten-free toasted rice powder to the chicken mixture and mix again.

Stir in the chopped green onions and chopped Thai chilies (adjust the amount based on your spice preference).

Taste and adjust the flavors by adding more fish sauce or lime juice if needed.

To serve, place the Chicken Larb mixture on a platter.

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and mint leaves.

Serve the Chicken Larb with lettuce leaves or cabbage leaves, which can be used as wrappers.
