Larb Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• To make toasted rice, place rice in a dry hot wok; swirl until golden brown, allow to cool, then grind in a mortar& pestle or spice mill.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in wok and add the chicken; stir-fry until cooked through.
• Drain chicken and place in mixing bowl, adding lemongrass, green onion, red onion, galangal, fish sauce, lime juice, chiles, and ground rice; mix well and set aside.
• On a bed of lettuce leaves, arrange chicken mixture and garnish with mint and cilantro.
• Serve with steamed sticky rice or steamed jasmine rice, using small amounts of rice to pick up the larb.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken. Cook and stir until chicken is broken into little pieces, about 5 minutes. Add red onion and scallions. Continue to cook and break up the chicken until browned, about 2 minutes. Add cilantro, mint, ginger, lemon grass, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until flavors blend, about 3 minutes more. Season with sea salt.

Steps:

• Put minced chicken in a pot with water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn heat to low, and simmer a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until done. Meanwhile put rice in a wok or skillet over high heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until it is evenly brown but not burned. Place in grinder and grind to a powder.
• In a bowl, combine chicken, rice powder, nam pla, lime juice, sugar, and chile; taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Make a bed of romaine leaves on a platter and spoon chicken mixture into middle. Top with remaining ingredients and serve.

Steps:

• To make roasted rice powder, heat a wok or skillet over high heat. Add raw rice and cook, stirring often, until rice is toasted and dark brown, but not black, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from wok and set aside to cool. Grind to a coarse powder in a mortar, blender or coffee grinder; set aside.
• To cook chicken, heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. When very hot, add 2 tablespoons water, then add chicken, stirring constantly to break up any lumps. Cook just until cooked through, about two minutes, then transfer to mixing bowl. While chicken is just warm, add remaining ingredients (except for garnishes) and roasted rice powder. Mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings. Mixture should be tangy, salty and lightly spicy.
• Spoon onto serving plate and surround with mint, lettuce and cucumber. Serve with rice. If serving with sticky rice, pinch some off, mold into a small ball and dip into larb, scooping up a little of each ingredient. Or scoop larb into lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook chicken over medium heat until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes, breaking it into crumbles; drain. In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots and chiles; cook and stir until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the cooked chicken, lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar and Sriracha. Cook and stir until heated through. Stir in cilantro and mint. Serve with rice and, if desired, lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• Cook the ground meat until done and drain.
• Mix the meat with the lime juice, fish sauce, red onions, chili peppers (optional), roasted rice powder and mix well.
• Serve on bed of lettuce and top with sliced green onions and mint leaves.
• May add additional red peppers if you desire it hotter.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl to blend; reserve sauce.
• Bring broth to simmer in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken. Simmer until cooked through, breaking up meat with spoon, about 8 minutes. Add green onions and next 3 ingredients. Stir until vegetables are tender and most of liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sauce, cilantro and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon into lettuce leaves; serve.

Steps:

• For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, rice powder and chile powder until combined. Set aside.
• For the larb: In a large bowl, combine the chicken, scallions, onion, cilantro and mint, then slowly pour the dressing over the top while tossing. Mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust any seasonings as needed. The larb should be tangy, salty and a little spicy (like me).
