How to cook it
-
Toast the 2 tbsp raw jasmine rice in a dry skillet until deep golden, then grind it to a coarse powder.
-
Cook the ground chicken in a skillet with a splash of water over medium-high heat, breaking it up until cooked through, about 7 minutes.
-
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the toasted rice powder, fish sauce, lime juice, chili flakes, and brown sugar.
-
Fold in the sliced shallots, scallions, mint, and cilantro while the chicken is still warm.
-
Taste and adjust with more lime or fish sauce for a bright, salty, sour balance.
-
Serve with butter lettuce leaves for wrapping and a bowl of jasmine rice.

When to cook it
Larb Gai takes about 30 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at lunch and dinner. Nothing in the calendar rules it out, so it is a year round dish.
