The Best Ground Chicken Recipes: Larb, Mapo Tofu, Meatballs, and More | Eater

"An LA restaurant and Kris Yenbamroong's cookbook provide an outstanding overview of larb; Yenbamroong states that "once you master the ground chicken version, you unlock other possibilities." He advocates altering the heat and flavorings — for example, graduating from the "pedestrian ground red pepper flakes you’d use on pizza" to grinding red Thai chiles — and emphasizes that the timing and order of mixing ingredients play key roles in this deceptively simple, high-reward dish. Make sure you’ve got fresh cabbage or lettuce and the rest of your pantry ingredients beforehand; this quick, light meal will be aces even on a weekday." - Kat Thompson
