Ingredients

  • 500 g minced pork
  • 2 tbsp toasted rice powder (khao khua)
  • 3 shallots finely sliced
  • 1 stalk lemongrass finely sliced
  • 1 large handful mint leaves
  • 1 handful coriander leaves
  • 4 tbsp lime juice
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp dried chili flakes
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves finely sliced
  • Spring onions to garnish

Instructions

  • Make toasted rice powder: dry-roast raw jasmine rice in a pan until golden. Cool and grind to a coarse powder.
  • Dry-cook the mince in a pan over medium-high heat until cooked through, 5–7 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl. Add lime juice, fish sauce, and chili flakes while still warm.
  • Mix in shallots, lemongrass, kaffir lime, and toasted rice powder.
  • Fold in mint and coriander.
  • Taste — it should be intensely sour, salty, and spicy.
  • Serve warm with extra chili and herbs.
