The tastiest salad ever...This is one of my all time favourites - the dish that started my career.

Serves 4 (entrée size) 
Prep time 10 min
Cook time 10 min

 
Ingredients
     1/4 cup rice- roasted until golden, then ground.
     400g minced chicken
     1/2 cup water
     Black pepper to taste
     1 cup mint- finely sliced
     1 cup coriander- finely sliced
     2-3 dried chillies- ground
     4 kaffir lime leaves-finely sliced
     2 tbsp fish sauce
     1 shallot, finely diced
     ½ red onion diced
     Juice 1 lemon
     Juice ½ lime

To Serve
     10 lettuce leaves
     15 beans- blanched
     ½ cucumber- de-seeded and sliced.

      
Method
​

Dry roast the rice in a small saucepan until golden. Remove and set aside to cool. When cool grind into a fine powder in a mortar & pestle.

Place minced chicken into a large saucepan on a medium/low heat, add the water and gently simmer for 4-5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Season with black pepper. You want the chicken to almost stew.

As soon as the chicken is cooked remove the pan from the heat and add remaining ingredients, including ground rice. Check seasoning and serve with cucumber, beans and lettuce.
