Steps:
- Sauce: Place water and cornflour OR rice powder into a small bowl. Mix into a slurry. Add lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Heat peanut oil in a wok (or heavy based fry pan) over medium high heat. Add ginger, garlic, lemongrass and chilli and sauté for 45 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn, it will taste bitter.
- Add the chicken and turn up the heat to high. Cook the chicken, breaking up the mince into small pieces.
- Once the chicken turns white and is almost cooked through (about 3 to 4 minutes), add Sauce. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute to coat the chicken and for the sauce to thicken.

- Spoon filling into a bowl, and serve with lettuce, peanuts, extra herbs and lime wedges on the side - leave everyone to make their own. Spoon filling into lettuce cups and garnish with what you want!

THAI LARB GAI (CHICKEN WITH LIME, CHILI AND FRESH HERBS)
Larb gai is a dish of browned ground chicken, mint, basil and red onions dressed with lime juice and ground red chiles that's popular in Laos and Isan, neighboring rural sections of Thailand. (The dish is sometimes spelled laab, lob or lop.) It's perfect hot weather food: spicy, crunchy and light, but rich in flavors and contrasts. Traditionally, this dish is made with a roasted rice powder that's prepared by toasting raw rice in a wok, then grounding it to a powder, but you can find premade roasted rice powder at Asian markets. Whatever you do, don't skip it - it adds a nuttiness that's essential to the authentic flavor of the dish.

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.

LARB GAI: THAI CHICKEN SALAD
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine all salad dressing ingredients together in a cup or bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Set aside.
- Combine all the cold salad ingredients in a large salad bowl (arugula/salad greens, mint, green onions, basil, red pepper, and cucumber).
- If using rice, see instructions below. Set aside.
- Place 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, chicken, and lime leaf (if using).
- As you stir-fry, add the fish sauce. Also, add a little water if the pan becomes dry. Stir-fry until chicken is cooked-about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the hot chicken to the salad bowl with prepared salad ingredients. Pour over the dressing and toss well.
- Finally, add the chopped nuts or ground toasted rice.
- Taste test the salad, adding more fish sauce if you prefer it saltier or more flavorful. Add more dried crushed chile if you prefer it spicier. If too bitter, add a little more sugar.
- Garnish with more mint or basil leaves or with some edible flowers.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.
- Place uncooked rice in a dry wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. As rice heats up, shake the pan back and forth or stir with a spoon. After 6 to 8 minutes, the rice will turn a light golden brown and begin to pop (like popcorn).
- When it begins to pop, transfer to a coffee grinder or pestle and mortar. Grind down to a coarse powder. (A coffee grinder works well for this. Simply wipe out with a clean, dry cloth, then pour in your rice and grind. For pestle and mortar, use a firm, circular grinding motion.)
- Use in your recipe and enjoy.

- Roast chiles in a dry wok over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep, dark crimson (almost brown) and give off a sweet and earthy smell (not burnt). The process shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes, but it pays to be vigilant in making sure they toast evenly and slowly.
- Remove from heat and let sit until cool enough to handle. Transfer to a food processor, blender, or spice grinder and grind until slightly finer than the crushed red pepper you’d find at a pizza shop. Be careful not to breathe in any chile dust when you remove the lid.
- Do Ahead: Chile powder can be made 3 months ahead. Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place.

- Cook the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the ground chicken and spread it over the bottom of the pan. Without stirring too much, cook for about 6 minutes or until it browns on the bottom. Turn and break it up with the edge of a spatula. Continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes longer, or until the meat is browned. Stir in the shallots and chilies and cook for 30 seconds. If the mixture looks dry, stir in some water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the seasonings: In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce, and brown sugar. Stir the mixture into the meat, along with the chopped cilantro and mint.
- Serve the larb: Transfer the meat to a serving platter and place lettuce leaves, lime wedges, and more cilantro alongside. Set out a bowl of cooked rice and a bowl of chili sauce. Spoon some rice into each lettuce leaf and top with a spoonful of larb, a squeeze of lime juice, and chili sauce to taste.
LARB GAI RECIPE BY CHAT THAI'S AMY CHANTA | GOURMET TRAVELLER
From gourmettraveller.com.au
- Dry-roast glutinous rice in a frying pan over low-medium heat, tossing or stirring, until it's evenly pale gold in colour (4-5 minutes).
- Add galangal, lime leaves and lemongrass and continue cooking, keeping it moving, until evenly golden brown and fragrant – the inside of the rice should still be white (2-3 minutes). Cool completely, then grind in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle (a spice grinder is quickest, but we find the best texture comes from a mortar and pestle). This recipe makes more than you need, but it will keep in an airtight container for up to a month and you're a step ahead for the next time you want to make larb.
- On a large chopping board and use a large cleaver to mince the chicken thighs until roughly the size of sunflower seeds. The unevenness of the chicken mince gives a lovely texture and mouthfeel. To make short work of this, we chop with two cleavers – but this takes practise.

- To make the toasted rice, add about 2 tablespoons of sweet sticky rice grains to a pan over medium heat. Toast until the grains have some color to them and become fragrant. Then add to a spice grinder and grind. If you don't have a spice grinder you can use a blender and then pour the rice through a strainer to remove any large pieces that may not have gotten blended. You want to end up with a fine powder.
- Cook the ground chicken in a non-stick skillet with no oil. Cook thoroughly and keep the juices in the pan. If using Chicken breast add about 1/4 cup of water to make it juicer.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and stir in sliced red onions. The residual heat will wilt the onions.
