Directions
"Based on the classsic dish called larb, this appetizer is easy to put together." Be generous with the green onion. Combine first 6 ingredients in medium bowl. Set sauce aside. Bring broth to boil in large saucepan. Working in abatches, add cabbage leaves. Cover and simmer until leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer leaves to bowl of cold water. Drain leaves; pat dry. Add beans to broth in pan; simmer until tender, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, add beans to sauce. Pour off all but ¼ cup liquid from saucepan. Add chicken; stir over medium heat until cooked through, breaking up meat with spoon, about 3 minutes. Drain chicken; add to sauce. Season with salt. Cool. The above can be prepared about 3 hours ahead. Cover the chicken mixture and cabbage leaves separately; chill. Bring to room temperature before making bundles.
No further cooking is required. Just the final assembly. Place 1 cabbage leaf on work surface. Mound scant ¼ cup chicken mixture in center of leaf. Fold in 3 sides of leaf; roll up to form bundle.
Repeat with remaining 11 cabbage leaves and chicken mixture.
