Instructions:
  • Prepare the chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add ground chicken, spread evenly, and cook without stirring for about 6 minutes until browned. Break up the chicken with a spatula and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes until fully browned. Stir in shallots and chilies and cook for 30 seconds. If needed, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove from heat.
  • Mix lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Combine with meat, cilantro, and mint.
  • To present the larb dish elegantly, transfer the meat onto a serving platter. Accompany it with fresh lettuce leaves, lime wedges, and additional cilantro. Have cooked rice and chili sauce in separate bowls. Fill each lettuce leaf with some rice, add a spoonful of larb, a splash of lime juice, and chili sauce to your liking.
