Thai Chicken Larb
Mike ReidIngredients:
Recipe brought to you with the help of our friends at Velisha Farms
- 1 tbsp oil
- 225g Chicken mince
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 lime, juice only
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 3 spring onions, finely chopped
- ¼ cucumber, finely diced
- 2 red chillies, finely sliced
- 1cm ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- ½ bunch coriander, leaves and stalks roughly chopped
- ½ bunch mint, leaves only, ripped
- 50g salted (but not dry roasted) peanuts
- 12 largish crisp iceberg lettuce leaves (cup-shaped are best)
Method:
- Drizzle the oil into a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the minced chicken with salt and pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly and breaking it up as you do so, until it turns from pink to white.
- Cut a piece open to check it is cooked and then tip the chicken into a colander set over a bowl. Leave to cool for five minutes (so it doesn’t cause the herbs to wilt) while also allowing any excess liquid to drain off, if necessary.
- Pour the fish sauce and lime juice into a large bowl and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Add the spring onions, cucumber, red chilli, ginger, coriander, all but a small handful of the mint leaves and the peanuts and stir together well.
- Tip the chicken in and toss it through. Taste it and check to see if it needs a little bit more of anything to get it just to your liking.
