Larb recipe

Ingredients:

1. 8 ounces fish, chicken breast, or lean beef, thinly sliced or cooked and shredded
2. 3/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
3. 1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced (about 2 green onions)
4. 1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
5. 1/2 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
6. 2 teaspoons uncooked sweet (glutinous) rice, toasted and ground to a coarse powder
7. 2 teaspoons crushed chili pepper, lightly toasted (adjust to taste)
8. Juice of 1 lime (adjust to taste)
9. 1½ tablespoons fish sauce (adjust to taste)
10. Black pepper, to taste (optional)
11. Oil spray

Directions:

• Have all ingredients prepared before cooking the protein.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with oil spray.
• Cook the fish, chicken, or beef until fully cooked. Flake the fish or slice/shred the chicken or beef into bite-sized pieces.
• If you prefer a milder onion flavor, add the red onion to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and stir in the green onion, cilantro, mint, toasted rice powder, chili pepper, lime juice, and fish sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Serve with steamed rice and fresh vegetables such as cabbage and cucumber.

Tip: Toast extra glutinous rice and crushed chili pepper and store them in airtight containers for future batches.
