Description

Larb is an amazing ground chicken salad with lime juice, lemongrass, and chiles. Topped with peanuts and cilantro, this is one salad I can’t get enough of!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Dressing:

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons fish sauce

2 tablespoons (packed) light brown sugar

For the chicken:
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 shallot, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemongrass paste
  • Zest from one lime
  • 1 small red Thai chile, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 8 small iceberg lettuce or hearts of romaine leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • Sriracha, to taste
  • Cilantro leaves and stems, roughly torn

Instructions

Mix up dressing ingredients and set aside.
Place chicken breasts, shallot, lemongrass paste, zest of a lime, chili, garlic, fish sauce, salt, and 1 T of oil in food processor. Pulse until meat is minced. Do not over process or this will make the mixture too fine.
Heat remaining oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken mixture and cook until chicken starts to brown, breaking up meat as it cooks.
When finished cooking, stir in dressing and top with peanuts, cilantro and a good squirt of sriracha!
Serve with lettuce leaves to wrap or over rice.
