LARP OF CHIANG MAI

Steps:

• Heat a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the minced chicken and moisten with a little water. Stir constantly over a medium heat for 7-10 minutes, until it is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and drainf off any excess fat. Cut off the lower 2in of the lemon grass stalk and chop it finely.
• Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and add the chopped lemon grass, lime leaves, chillies, lime juice, fish sauce, roasted ground rice, spring onions, and corriander. Mix thoroughly.
• Note: roasted ground rice is uncooked rice, roasted over a low heat until it turns light brown, then ground up into a fine powder. Do not skip this step; the rice "binds" the ingredients together.
• Spoon the chicken mixture into a salad bown. Sprinkle sliced (kaffir) lime leaves over the top and garnish with salad leaves and sprigs of mint.

CHIANG MAI CURRY NOODLES (KAO SOI)

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and then add the garlic. Toss well and add the red curry paste, mashing and stirring to soften it in the oil, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook 1 to 2 minutes, tossing now and then to brown it evenly and mix it with the curry paste.
• Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, turmeric, soy sauce, sugar and salt and stir well. Bring to a gentle boil and adjust heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cook about 10 minutes until meat is cooked through.
• Stir in lime juice, remove from heat and cover to keep curry warm while you prepare the noodles.
• Cook the noodles in a large pot of rapidly boiling water until tender but still firm, as little as 2 minutes for fresh noodles and 7 minutes or more for dried. Drain, rinse well in cold water, drain again and divide the noodles among individual serving bowls. Ladle on hot curry, and sprinkle each serving with the shallots, cilantro and green onions. Serve hot and garnish with crunchy noodle nests as noted in description if using.

CHIANG MAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Dice the chicken into 1/2" cubes.
• Heat the oil, fry the garlic for 1 minute.
• Add curry paste and fry for 2 minutes.
• Add the rest of the ingredients as well as 2 cups of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 1 hour (if using pork, simmer 1 1/2 hour).
• Serve with steamed rice (jasmine or basmati).
