Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • Fresh lemongrass (- grated (about 2 tbsp) You can find this at whole foods or any specialty Asian store)
  • 4 cloves garlic (- minced)
  • Jalapeno (- diced)
  • Shallot (- diced)
  • Green onion (- diced)
  • Handful of cilantro (- chopped)
  • Handful of fresh mint (- chopped)
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 limes
  • 1 head of sturdy lettuce (- such as bibb or romaine. If you are looking for something more sturdy with a crunch use cabbage.)

Instruction

  • Start by grating the lemongrass and chopping up the garlic, jalapeño, shallot, cilantro, onion and mint.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add in the sesame oil and chicken to cook.
  • Once the chicken is mostly cooked through, add in the garlic, jalapeño, lemongrass and shallot to cook down.
  • Keep cooking the chicken until it browns and starts to get almost crispy in some places. At this point most of the liquid in the pan should be evaporated.
  • Add in your vinegar, fish sauce, hot sauce, onion, mint and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of the two limes in as well.
  • Toss everything together to mix well and cook for a few more minutes.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture onto your lettuce or cabbage and serve.
