Method
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and add the chicken mince. Fry for 5-6 mins until starting to turn crispy. You might need to drain the fat/juices from the mince, then return to the pan to get it crispy. Add the green beans for the final 2 mins.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the ginger, garlic, lemongrass and chilli. Cook for 2-3 mins until fragrant.
- Stir in the lime zest and juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and the mint and coriander. Cook for a couple more mins.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves and cucumber batons in bowls and divide the larb between the bowls. Top with crispy onions and a lime wedge and serve immediately.
