Very authentic - but healthy. I added thinly sliced raw red onion and substituted jalapeno pepper. Unlike others, I found the citrus levels perfect. We have a grinder attachment for our stand mixer and ground our own chicken.
Larb
Larb is a traditional Thai dish of spicy ground chicken, but ground turkey breast is leaner and just as tasty. Place the cooked turkey mixture in cabbage leaves for a delicious wrap.
Yield: 2 servings (serving size: about 2/3 cup larb and 1 cabbage wedge)
