I love Chicken Larb in lettuce cups from the Thai restaurant. But is it possible to make a spectacular Whole30/paleo version?  Here again we took inspiration from the 30-Minute Paleo Meals cookbook, although my version has mushrooms, charred and chopped Fresno peppers, and is served in butter lettuce. We sautéed 1/2 light and 1/2 dark chicken meat with lime in sesame oil, then added shallots and all kinds of herbs. The chicken meat sautéed in the toasted sesame oil is so sumptuous, and the addition of shallots, cilantro, basil, mint, and scallions takes it over the top. Because the original recipe didn’t come with a dipping sauce (and who doesn’t love a dipping sauce?), I borrowed  @iheartumami.ny’s paleo Shumai sauce, but made it Whole30 by substituting hot sauce for the chili oil.  This is the kind of thing I could eat every single day.  A star was born!
