Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup raw jasmine rice toasted and ground
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 shallots finely sliced, divided
  • 570 g ground chicken homemade for better texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1-2 pieces Thai bird’s eye chilies finely sliced
  • 3 green onions finely sliced
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro

Equipment

  • Slotted spoon
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Butter lettuce leaves (or bibb/boston lettuce) washed and dried

Method
 

  1. Toast the rice grains in a dry wok or skillet over low heat until golden brown and smelling nutty, about 10 minutes; then grind into a coarse powder.
  2. Heat the wok to high and add the vegetable oil; fry half of the sliced shallots until crispy and golden, then drain on paper towels.
  3. In the same wok, add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula until cooked through; stir in the sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice.
  4. Add the toasted rice powder, sliced chilies, raw shallots, green onions, cilantro, and mint; stir-fry for another minute and taste to adjust seasoning.
  5. Spoon the chicken larb onto lettuce leaves, top with crispy shallots, and serve.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor—they really enhance the dish.
Adjust the heat level by using milder peppers if desired.
Toast a bit more rice than needed and store extra in an airtight container; it's great for other dishes.
For variations, consider using ground turkey, swapping in tofu for a vegetarian option, or adding fruits like mango for a sweet contrast.
