Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked jasmine rice, cilantro, mint, green onions, and chopped peanuts.
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.
