    Wrapping a meal in lettuce or cabbage leaves dates back hundreds of years in Asia, but really didn’t become too popular in the US until more recently (likely when lettuce wraps from a larger chain became quite popular).  I’m a big proponent of using lettuce or cabbage to wrap up food. First of all it’s a lot more fun than using a fork or spoon and a great way to consume healthy, leafy vegetables.  Each bite has a nice contrast too of being milder at first then getting to the juicy vegetables, meat and spices inside a split-second later.

    EASY CHICKEN LARB RECIPE

    I have tried different larb or similar recipes from a number of countries in Asia: Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. The below recipe has a couple of items sourced from Thailand, but takes inspiration from all of these countries.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
    • ⅔ cup fresh lime juice
    • 3 tablespoon Thai fish sauce, (use more or less according to your liking)
    • ½ -1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced Thai chilies or serrano chilies, or ½ teaspoon Thai hot chili powder
    • 2 tablespoon low-sodium chicken broth
    • ¾ cup thinly sliced red onions
    • 2 tablespoon minced fresh lemongrass
    • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
    • 15 whole mint leaves
    • fresh cabbage, washed

    Instructions
     

    • Place a skillet over high heat and and add low sodium chicken broth. Bring to boil and add ground chicken. Stir continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until chicken is browned or cooked through about 6 minutes.
    • Remove chicken and set aside.
    • Mix fish sauce, fresh lime juice, sugar, red onions and lemongrass in a mixing bowl, then add cooked ground chicken. Stir until well-mixed.
    • Stir in fresh mint leaves and cilantro right before serving and spoon the mixture into the cabbage to serve.

    Notes

    I advise to use Thai fish sauce as it has about half the salt of Vietnamese fish sauce.

      I added oyster sauce as well as fish sauce and palm sugar. Lots of lime and mint is a must! Also if you fin at the Asian markets, top with toasted ground rice powder 🙂

      I toasted 1 tablespoon of jasmine rice in a cast iron skillet then ground it into a fine powder. Sprinkle this over the dish when its done and it adds an amazing nutty authentic flavor. Also, 1/2 tbs ground Thai red chili flakes tossed at the end. This recipe was amazing.
