Step 1

Mince and put chicken in a bowl until ready to cook. Clean down board and knife before proceeding.

Step 2

Peel red onion and slice thinly. Remove root end from scallions and slice on a bias. Roughly chop cilantro leaves, leaving a few unchopped for garnish. Wash and dry lettuce leaves.

Step 3

Heat rice kernels in a saute pan on medium heat, tossing frequently, until rice becomes lightly browned. Using a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder, process toasted rice until it resembles a coarse corn meal. Do not overprocess or it will become a sandy consistency.

Step 4

For dressing, mix lime juice and fish sauce together with a pinch of sugar. Taste and adjust if needed.

Step 5

Heat just enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of a saute pan over medium high heat. Once oil is shimmering, add chicken and cook, stirring to break up the meat until cooked. This will go quickly as the chicken is minced. Alternatively, you can heat a pot of water to a boil and cook the chicken in the water, skimming meat out once it’s cooked.

Step 6

While still warm, mix chicken with the dressing and rice powder. Next, gently mix the herbs and onions with the seasoned meat.

Step 7

Arrange a bed of lettuce and place meat/salad mix on top. Garnish with the reserved pieces of cilantro.
