Steps:
- Toast rice in a dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until deep golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Coarsely grind with a mortar and pestle or in a food processor.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Boil chicken, separating it into pieces with a spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon; reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Add dressing, rice, herbs, and cooking liquid; toss. Season with salt and pepper.
- For each serving, put about 1/4 cup chicken in a lettuce leaf. Garnish with carrot, daikon, basil, cilantro, and nuts.
GROUND PORK, WATER CHESTNUTS AND CRISPY NOODLE LETTUCE CUPS
Lettuce cups with savory, sweet pork and crunchy noodles are a favorite in Chinese-American restaurants. They are also incredibly easy to cook at home! The new-to-some ingredient here is mushroom soy sauce. Most soy sauces are one-note salty and need supporting characters, like sugar, to balance them. They can also lack deep savoriness. Mushroom soy sauce is a smooth, rich and caramel-like sauce that really gives body and balance to a dish. Here, I like to make platters of the filling and lettuce separately for parties or just serve them individually prepared for a fancy starter or meal.

Steps:
- Prepare the mushrooms: Soak the mushrooms in the hot water in a small heatproof bowl until reconstituted, about 20 minutes. Chop into small dice and reserve.
- Prepare the crispy noodles: Heat 3 to 4 inches of canola oil in a medium saucepan or high-sided skillet until 365 degrees F.
- Break up the vermicelli into 2 batches. Fry each batch, carefully flipping once about halfway through, until puffed, about 2 minutes; drain on paper towels. Reserve for garnish.
- Heat a 9- to 11-inch skillet over high heat for about a minute. Swirl in the 2 tablespoons oil to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until browned, 20 to 30 seconds. Add the ground pork, press flat with a spatula and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom starts to brown. Break apart and press down to repeat the process until the pork is 60% browned.
- Stir in the onions, water chestnuts and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the pork is about 90% cooked through and the pork mixture smells amazing, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the mushroom soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine and pepper and cook, continuing to work it all together, until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat while you prepare the lettuce.
- Cut the core out of the head of lettuce and discard, then cut the head in half through the core. Discard a few outer leaves until you pull out about a dozen nice leaves. Place those leaves on a large platter. Fill each lettuce cup with about 1/2 cup of the pork mixture then garnish with the scallions and about 1/4 cup of the crispy noodles on top.

Steps:
- Put the chicken thighs, lemon, cilantro leaves and stems into a skillet or saucepan. Fill with water just to cover the chicken and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer. Cook until the chicken is tender and falling from the bones, about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and allow to cool. When cool, remove the skin and strip the meat from the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Reserve the meat.
- In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, curry, honey, and lemon juice. Stir in the scallions, celery, and grapes until combined. Add the cooled chicken meat and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve heaping portions of the salad in butter lettuce leaves.
