From wmhaynes 16 years agoIngredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts, minced shopping list
- 1 tablespoon soybean oil shopping list
- 1 medium onion, diced small shopping list
- 1 teaspoon sugar shopping list
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper shopping list

- 2 green onions or 4 scallions, thinly sliced shopping list
- 1 stalk lemon grass or 2 tablespoons dried lemon grass shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, minced (save a few for garnish) shopping list
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice powder * shopping list
- 4 teaspoons lime juice shopping list
How to make it
- Prep ingredients by thinly slicing onion and lemon grass. Chop green onions into small pieces.
- Sauté minced onion in the soybean oil. When the onions are getting transparent, add the minced chicken breasts and cook. When it is cooked, set it aside and let it cool.
- Once cooled, add all other ingredients one at a time while stirring. Reserve lime juice as the final ingredient to be added.
- Place on serving plate bed of lettuce.
- * Make your own rice powder by roasting uncooked white rice in a dry pan, preferably cast-iron, over low to medium heat, stirring frequently to evenly brown to a rich dark color. This takes about 10-15 minutes. If the grains are browning too quickly or unevenly, the heat is too high – lower accordingly. Slow roasting yields a more fragrant and less gritty result, as the grains brown not only on the outside, but cook through to the interior. The grains do pick up a lot of heat, so let cool before grinding to a fine powder in a clean coffee grinder. Hot rice can melt the plastic lid of your grinder.
