If you haven’t had Larb before, it is a Laotian/Thai meat salad. It’s absolutely amazing. Larb is spicy, sweet, savory, funky, bright, sour, herbaceous, crunchy, refreshing, and so satisfying. This is why I think it is the most perfect food. It’s healthy while still being insanely flavorful and filling.

Author's Notes

You can use any kind of ground meat you have on hand. I tend to always have ground chicken in the freezer so I’m using chicken here.

Heat Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Ground Chicken (225 g) to the pan and season with Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 tsp), Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp), Granulated Sugar (1 tsp), and Fish Sauce (1 Tbsp). Using a spatula, break up the ground chicken into small crumbles and toss to evenly coat in the seasonings. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, until the chicken is mostly cooked through.
