Chili Chicken Salad Recipe

Anyone who has traveled through North-east Thailand will have encountered this traditional dish, in which chicken is coated in a hot and sharp chili sauce. This cuisine uses glutinous rice (a short to medium grain rice) for the roasted ground rice. When preparing the rice, put it in a frying pan and dry-roast until golden brown. Remove and grind to a powder, using a mortar and pestle or a food processor. When the rice is cold, store it in a glass jar in a cool, dry place.



Ingredients: (Serves 4-6)

450 g/1 lb minced (ground) chicken

1 lemon grass stalk, trimmed

3 kaffir lime leaves, finely chopped

4 fresh red chilies, seeded and chopped

60 ml/4 tablespoons lime juice

30 ml/2 tablespoon Thai fish sauce (nam pla)

15 ml/1 tablespoon roasted ground rice (see above for preparation)

2 scallions (spring onions), chopped

30 ml/2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves

Thinly sliced kaffir lime leaves, mixed salad leaves and fresh mint sprigs, to garnish



Method:

Heat a large non-stick frying pan. Add the chicken and moisten with a little water. Stir constantly over a medium heat for 7-10 minutes until it is cooked. While the chicken is cooking, cut off the lower 5 cm/2 inches of the lemon grass stalk and chop finely.



Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and add the chopped lemon grass, lime leaves, chilies, lime juice, fish sauce, ground rice, scallions and cilantro leaves. Mix thoroughly.



Spoon the chicken mixture into a salad bowl. Sprinkle sliced kaffir lime leaves over the top and garnish with salad leaves and sprigs of mint.

Bowlfood Cookbook by Lynne Argonson and Elizabeth Simon

I bought this book several years ago as it had looked like it had some interesting bowl meals that I could try and modify if needed. It has quite a few good recipes involving either soup, pasta,noodles. Also has dumpling and little snack recipes as well salad bowls and little spicy bowls, desserts called sweet bowls. So there is a lot to choose from and I have tried several. Great index, catalog of sources to find foods and even a conversion table of ingredients.The spicy peanut sauce, the mango vinaigette,chili marinade for seafood/ fish, jalapeno sauce, shanghai noodles I rated all of them so far from 9.5-9.6 out of 10 so that is pretty good. So there is lots to like about the recipes.Nicely written easy to read. No photos but well laid out and the price is a good one. I think you will like many of the recipes to try according to your tastes as I did. I am still looking for more eventhough I have many in many files, on the internet and computer already.
