Description
Spicy ground meat salads - usually called larb - are common throughout northern Thailand and Laos. They burst with flavour from lots of fresh herbs and are a surprisingly refreshing dish on a hot day.
Method
Combine the chicken mince, rice flour, onion, garlic, lemongrass, chillies, fish and soy sauces and ground coriander. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour for the flavours to infuse.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the chicken mixture and cook over high heat until golden brown. Add the lime juice and set aside to cool slightly.
Combine the chicken mixture with the tomatoes, cucumber, coriander, lime leaves and mint.
Place the lettuce-leaf cups on a platter and spoon mince mixture into the cups. Garnish with coriander and fried shallots.
