Bowl

Frying pan

Place chicken mince in a mixing bowl. Add half the lime juice and stir through. This will tenderise the chicken.

Meanwhile heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or work over high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry until browned and the edges are crispy, around 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean mixing bowl.

Add the water, fish sauce, remaining lime juice, toasted sticky rice powder, chilli powder and sugar and mix well.

Next, add the shallot, cilantro/coriander, spring onion and mint. Toss to combine, then transfer to serving plates.

Garnish with extra mint, spring onion and toasted sticky rice powder.
