Laap

Otherwise known as the Thai version of cilantro-lime rice...way better than that crap they make at Chipotle. That's right, I said it. Ew, Chipotle. And this is a meal in itself. And it takes like, 10 minutes to make. Epic win.

1 lb. ground chicken
2 cup white rice, uncooked
Juice of 8 limes
2 tbsp. soy sauce*
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Red onion, chopped in 1/2" slivers, to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

*Real Laap uses fish sauce, but I have to bastardize it since I'm not supposed to eat fish stuff. Use fish sauce if you can.

Cook and drain chicken. Cook rice.

Combine lime juice, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Taste it - if it's too tart for you, add a little more soy sauce, but keep in mind that the rice will cut down the tartness a bit.

Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl and enjoy.
