Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, and chili powder. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shallots, green onions, mint leaves, and cilantro. Toss everything together until evenly mixed.

  2. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning by adding more lime juice or fish sauce, if desired.

Serving the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare Lettuce Leaves

    Separate the leaves of the lettuce head and wash them thoroughly. Dry them with a paper towel.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Spoon the larb gai mixture onto the lettuce leaves, garnishing with chopped peanuts and sliced red chili if desired. Enjoy immediately.
