Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. lime juice
- 3 Tbsp. chicken stock
- 3 Tbsp. fish sauce, (nam pla)
- 5 tsp prik phom, (grnd dry red chilies)
- 1 Tbsp. khao koor, (grnd toasted rice)
- 4 x shallots, minced
- 1/2 stalk lemon grass, very thinly sliced
- 1 x kaffir lime leaf, shredded or possibly 1 tsp. lime zest
- 2 x spring onions, thinly sliced 1 ts powdered galangal)
- 4 ounce chicken
Directions
- Garnish lettuce, parsley, sliced radish and mooli, coriander leaves.
- method:Line a serving dish with the lettuce leaves. Chop the chicken (in a food processor, or possibly with two cleavers, or possibly get the butcher to do it for you.
- In a fairly high wok, with a very small amount of oil, stir fry the chicken till it just starts to turn whitish, then add in all the remaining ingredients
- (if using precooked meat, simply add in everything to a warm wok together), and stir till heated through and the chicken is cooked.
- Serve on the bed of lettuce leaves and garnish to taste. Serve with steamed sticky rice (if you prefer you can use jasmine rice) and a dish of mixed [raw]
- fresh vegetables, and the usual Thai table condiments (prik nam pla, prik dong, prik phom and sugar).
- The usual way to eat this is to take a small ball of sticky rice in the fingers and use it to pick up a little lab, then eat it with the raw veggies.
- You can also use a fork and spoon as a lot of Thais do.
- Lab is an easy, quick to make "spicy" dish (it can be, and often is fierily warm). I have seen it on Thai restaurant menus in America and Britain described as "chicken salad Thai style", that might be the best description for this dish. It can be made with beef (lab nuea) or possibly pork (lab muu) instead of chicken, and it can be made with precooked left-over poultry or possibly meat instead.
- It can even be made with minced up luncheon meat or possibly something like SPAM. I leave it to your imagination. However in the part of Thailand I live in it is almost always a chicken recipe.
