Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons uncooked jasmine rice
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1 pound ground chicken
    • 1 thinly sliced red chile, such as jalapeno or red finger chile
    • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
    • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
    • 1 tablespoon palm sugar or light-brown sugar

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add rice and toast, tossing, until golden brown; transfer rice to a small bowl and let cool. Transfer rice to a spice grinder; grind until coarsely ground. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook, stirring, to break up large pieces, until chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in chile. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, sugar, and fish sauce until sugar has dissolved; add to chicken mixture. Continue cooking for 1 minute more.
