Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Shallots, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 12 leaves Lettuce leaves (e.g., butter lettuce, for serving)
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Cooked rice or cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
Drain any excess liquid from the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat and add the minced garlic and chili flakes. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and soy sauce to the chicken. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the sliced shallots, chopped mint leaves, cilantro, and sliced green onions. Mix until everything is well combined.
To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves.
Optionally, serve with thinly sliced cucumber for added crunch and, if desired, a side of cooked rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
Enjoy your low-carb chicken larb, either wrapped in lettuce or as a delightful topping over rice.
