Larb Gai Directions

To make roasted rice powder, dry roast uncooked rice in a small skillet until golden, then pulverize to a fine powder in a spice grinder. (It can also be found in Thai grocery stores and online.)

Sauté the ground chicken, lime juice, fish sauce, ginger and shallots in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through.

Toss with the remaining ingredients and serve cool or at room temperature with butter lettuce or endive leaves.
