Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 3 large shallots
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 50 grams cooked jasmine rice
- 10 grams fresh mint leaves
- 10 grams fresh cilantro
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons ground roasted rice
- 8 large lettuce leaves
Instructions
Start by finely slicing the shallots and set them aside.
Chop the fresh mint leaves, cilantro, and green onions. Set aside the herbs in a small bowl.
Cut the chicken breast into small, manageable pieces. Use a sharp knife or food processor to mince the chicken finely.
In a non-stick pan, heat it over medium-high heat. Add the minced chicken and cook, stirring continuously, until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the chicken to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a large mixing bowl.
Add the sliced shallots to the chicken while it's still warm so they can soften slightly.
Combine lime juice, gluten-free fish sauce, and chili flakes in a small bowl to make the dressing. Stir well.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and shallots and toss everything to coat the chicken evenly.
Add the chopped mint, cilantro, and green onions, along with the cooked jasmine rice, to the bowl.
Sprinkle ground roasted rice over the mixture for a nutty aroma and texture. Toss everything well to combine.
Serve the chicken larb on a plate lined with large lettuce leaves. You can scoop the larb into the leaves to eat like wraps.
Enjoy your refreshing and gluten-free chicken larb!
