This just didn't live up to my expections. However, my boyfriend love it, which really surprised me. I'll probably make it again but change some of the things I add to the chicken. Also I don't think i'm a big fan of fish sauce... it kinds rubbs me the wrong way. Maybe, i'll use soy instead....
Thai Chicken in Cabbage Leaves
The ground chicken filling has seasonings similar to those in larb, a popular Thai appetizer. Add sticky rice and sautéed fresh snow peas with chopped red bell pepper to complete the meal. Squeeze a lime wedge over the chicken for extra zip.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 4 stuffed leaves)
