For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the rice powder yourself. It's easy to do in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant.
Adjust the amount of Thai chile peppers and Thai chile flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
If you can't find water chestnuts, jicama makes a great substitute for added crunch.
Serve Larb Gai with lettuce cups, steamed rice, or even alongside sticky rice for a complete Thai-inspired meal.
