Larb Gai — Thai recipe

Larb Gai

A northeastern Thai minced chicken salad — chicken crumbled in a pan, then tossed off the heat with lime, fish sauce, chilies, herbs and toasted rice powder. The rice powder is not a garnish: it is ground toasted grain that gives the whole thing its nutty smell and its faint grit, and without it this is just seasoned chicken.
