THAI CHICKEN LAAB
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
200g (14 oz) chicken mince
1 ½ Asian red shallots (or 1 large eschallot), sliced
1 ½ tbsp finely chopped coriander
1 ½ tbsp finely chopped sawtooth coriander (optional)
1/8 cup mint leaves
1 spring onions, finely sliced
Cabbage, snake beans and extra herbs to serve
Dressing:
1 tbsp raw glutinous rice*
1.5 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp grated palm sugar or brown sugar
1 tsp chilli flakes (or to taste)
1 Tbsp lime juice
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
For the dressing, toast the rice in a dry frying pan over high heat until golden brown. Remove from
heat and use a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder to grind rice to a fine powder. Mix the rice powder
with the remaining dressing ingredients.
STEP 2
Place a non-stick pan over high heat. When it’s hot had ¼ cup of water. Then add in the chicken
mince. Break up the mince as it cooks in the water. When cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the
mince to a large bowl (discard the cooking liquid). While the chicken is warm, add the shallots and
toss. Add the dressing and mix to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more chilli powder,
fish sauce and/or lime juice if needed.
STEP 3
When you’re happy with the flavour, add the coriander, sawtooth coriander, spring onion and mint
leaves and mix well. Serve warm with cabbage, beans and herbs.
*NOTES:
Using glutinous or sticky rice will give you a softer rice powder that creates a thick and soft coating for
the finished salad. If glutinous rice is unavailable you can still use regular long grain or jasmine rice to
add a similar toasty flavour with a slightly crunchier texture.
