- Note: Tamarind paste is sold in small "bricks" at Asian markets.
- For the Roasted Rice Pwdr: Toast the rice in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Keep stirring as the rice cooks. Once the rice is light brown and fragrant, transfer it to a blender or possibly food processor. Blend the rice till it's rough and the grains are about 1/4 their original size. Set aside.
- For the Chicken: Mix together the tamarind paste and the water, then press it through a sieve; it'll be like a paste. Combine it with the chicken and let it stand for 2 min.
- Heat a medium skillet over high heat and add in the oil. Add in the garlic and shallots and cook till the shallots start to become translucent/soft, about 30 seconds. Add in the chicken to the pan; stir till it's cooked through, about 3 to 5 min.
- Transfer the chicken, garlic and shallots to a large bowl. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and pepper flakes. Add in the mint leaves, red onion and Roasted Rice Pwdr and toss to mix.
- Divide the chicken mix among 6 plates. Arrange the green onions, cucumber and carrot slices along with the cabbage wedges around each plate and serve.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: Larb Gai is a light, flavorful dish from northern Thailand. If you prefer, substitute seafood or possibly another meat for the chicken.
