Larb (savory chopped pork salad)

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Ground lean pork (you could substitute ground chicken or beef)
½ cup Water
2 tablespoons Lime juice
2 tablespoons Pan-roasted rice of dry crumbs, or bread crumbs
½ Ground chili pepper
2 tablespoons Thinly sliced shallots
2 Spring onions, cut thin
1 Coriander plant, chopped (can use stems)
2 tablespoons Fish sauce
½ cup Mint leaves

Directions

Stir the pork in boiled water until done. (This keeps it from burning.) Remove the pork from water.

Mix the pan-roasted rice or bread crumbs, ground chili, shallot, spring onions and coriander stems or root. Season to taste with the fish sauce and the lime juice. Sprinkle with mint leaves and serve with yard-long beans, cabbage, shallots and spring onions. You can fold the larb salad into a little cabbage package and serve as a mini-sandwich or tiny Thai taco.
