My first recipe, what I’ve always called Nam Sut (but made with ground chicken instead)

There is a Thai dish that I love. I have always called it Nam Sut, although I suspect that is not the correct name. It is ground pork cooked with ginger and then served as easy grab food in a lettuce wrap.

It is one of my favorite ideas although I don’t know the correct name.

Recently I decided to make it but I wanted to reduce the fat and calories, so I decided to try it with ground chicken instead of ground pork.

What you’ll need

  • Ground chicken
  • Fresh ginger
  • Fresh garlic
  • Onions
  • Peanuts

Cut all the ingredients up and cook them In a frying pan with the chicken.

When the chicken is cooked, add lemon juice to the mix (just enough to get everything lemony), and away you go!

Portions I used:

  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 4 ounces fresh ginger
  • five cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 onion
  • two tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup dry roasted peanuts

We used a head of Iceberg lettuce to make the actual wraps. Let the mixture cool just a little (don’t want to burn your tongue) and serve.

This recipe easily fed 4 including two teenagers!

  1. I have been wondering the name of this dish like forever now. Thank you, I have used ground beef but no chicken and this is the recipe I use. Now I will have to try it with chicken, I love this!!!

    • I have to be honest, I was scared using chicken. We usually make this with pork sausage, but frankly the Ground Chicken tasted amazing.

      I am not sure that is the proper thai name, that is just what I have always called it.
