"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 1/4 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 1/4 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.
