Introduction
A fresh, flavorful, and warm Thai chicken salad (Larb Gai) made with ground chicken marinated in lime juice, cooked with soy sauce, and tossed with fresh herbs like mint, cilantro, spring onions, and shallots, then topped with toasted ground rice for a wonderful crunch.
Step 1
Place ground chicken in a bowl, squeeze the juice of 1 lime over it, mix well, and let it marinate for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan. Add the marinated chicken and 1 tbsp of soy sauce. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and breaking the chicken apart until it is fully cooked, white, and crumbly.
Step 3
In a separate small skillet over medium heat, dry toast 1 tbsp of raw rice until it turns golden brown and aromatic.
Step 4
Transfer the toasted rice to a mortar and pestle and grind it coarsely. Meanwhile, ensure all the moisture in the cooked chicken pan has evaporated so the chicken is dry.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced shallot, chopped green chilies, mint leaves, chopped spring onions, and chopped cilantro.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
This is a warm salad traditionally served with sticky rice or jasmine rice, but it can also be served in lettuce wraps.
Toasted rice is a crucial ingredient that adds a distinct nutty aroma and crunchy texture to the dish.
For a more authentic Thai flavor, fish sauce can be used instead of soy sauce.
You can easily substitute the ground chicken with ground pork, beef, turkey, or tofu.
