Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the rice over a low heat, stirring frequently, until golden-brown. Allow to cool slightly, then whizz to a powder in an electric coffee grinder, blender or food processor. Cook the finely chopped chicken with the fish sauce, lemon grass and stock or water in a pan over a medium heat. Stir constantly to keep the chicken pieces separate. Cook for about 5 minut
