Because the tom kha kai soup of last week tasted that good I was eager to try another Thai dish. This time it was larb kai, inspired by a recipe from HubPages.
It was one of the other Thai dishes I found on Wikipedia. It looked like something which was pretty easy to make. One of the problems was that I didn’t have rice powder. I decided to make some of my own. Simply by putting risotto rice in a dry frying pan. When the rice was brown I put it in a food processor. The result was a great rice powder.
Larb kai by the way is also great. Besides the powder it only took my about 10 minutes tops to prepare it, real easy. I also like the spicy and sour combination. Again a great dish, I’m beginning to like this Thai cuisine!
Ingredients (serves 2)
450 grams chicken breast
2 tbsp toasted grounded rice
3 shallots
1 red chili pepper
fresh mint
1 lime
3 tbsp fish sauce
Preparation
Put the chicken in a food processor and grind it into small pieces. Fry this chicken with some olive oil in a pan. In the meanwhile you chop the shallots and chili pepper.
Add the shallots, chili & rice powder and a few tablespoons of water to the chicken. When the chicken is cooked you can use the mint, lime and fish sauce to give this the taste that you want.
