Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 3 medium, thinly sliced shallots
- 1 stalk, finely chopped fresh lemongrass
- 1 small, finely sliced red chili
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 150 g cooked jasmine rice
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup, chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 head, leaves separated for serving iceberg lettuce
- 0.25 cup, chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced green onions
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 7 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to medium, and add the shallots, lemongrass, red chili, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 2 more minutes until the shallots are soft.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, and honey. Pour this mixture into the skillet, and stir to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 4
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked jasmine rice, cilantro, mint, green onions, and chopped peanuts.
Step 5
Serve the chicken larb in lettuce leaves, allowing diners to wrap the meat mixture in the lettuce like tacos. Accompany with extra lime wedges, if desired.
