Thai Chicken salad
Singh's Larb Gai
This Thai dish is so fragrant and extremely easy to cook, also is a great diet food as there is no oil as the chicken cooks in the water leaving the chicken moist and tender, I have cooked this dish so many times as Thai people do I do not use measurements as such it is more on tasting as you cook, but have place a guide line to start you off with this amazing dish which is great hot or cold.
