Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a wok over high. Chop three coriander stalks very finely and throw into the wok with the ginger, garlic and spring onions.
  2. Cook, stirring often, for a couple of minutes before adding the chicken mince and carrot. Stir to break up the mince.
  3. After about 5 minutes, the mince should be cooked through. Add the sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce and lime juice and toss well.
  4. Remove from heat. Separate the lettuce leaves and serve the larb in a big bowl, letting everyone build their own larb cups.
