Description

Quick and Zesty Thai Minced Chicken Salad Delight


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 1 tsp Chili Flakes
  • 2 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Rice Powder (Khao Khua)
  • 2 medium Shallots
  • 2 tbsp Green Onion
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 1/4 cup Mint Leaves

Instructions

  1. Toast Khao Khua: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add raw white rice and toast, stirring constantly until golden brown and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Grind Khao Khua: Let the toasted rice cool slightly, then grind it into a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.
  3. Cook Chicken: In a skillet, add ground chicken with a splash of water over medium heat. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Mix in Flavors: Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, chili flakes, and the toasted rice powder. Blend everything well and let the mixture cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Add Fresh Ingredients: Gently fold in the shallots, green onion, cilantro, and mint leaves.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer the Laab Gai to a serving dish and enjoy warm, pairing it with fresh vegetables or sticky rice.
