Thai Chicken Larb Salad

Spicy, Salty, Sweet and Sour. It packs a punch of flavours!
I just adore Thai food. The spicy, salty, sweet, sour and fresh flavours are tantalizing to your tastebuds. Though some people might not be fans of fish sauce, but it's ok in moderation.

Here's a pretty quick salad that's something different. I combined a few different recipes and added my own twist to it.

Even my new housemate who hasn't had much appetite of late had 2 servings of this yummy salad.

Ingredients:
  • Chicken Mince
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Coriander (including the roots)
  • Cucumber
  • Green beans
  • Basil
  • Mint
  • Kaffir lime leaves
  • Dried chilli flakes
  • Fresh chilli
  • Bean sprouts
  • Fish sauce
  • Lime/lemon juice
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Peanut oil
Directions:
  • Heat oil in wok, add the minced garlic, ginger and coriander roots
  • Add chicken mince brown and break into little bits with dried chilli
  • Add fish sauce and sugar 
  • Add the chopped up green beans and stir until heat through, this is all the cooking done.
  • Remove from heat and toss in all the remaining ingredients, all chopped up except the beans sprouts
  • You can top it off with some crushed peanuts for the extra crunch but I ran out of peanuts.
