Ingredients
- 1/4 cup jasmine rice
- 3/4 pound lean ground pork
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced galangal or ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of a lime
- 1 tablespoon minced lemongrass (optional)
- 1 to 4 small hot chiles, like Thai, sliced thin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 3 green onions, sliced thin
- 1 cup chopped rau ram or cilantro
- 1/3 cup chopped mint
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- Lettuce for wraps
- Sesame oil, for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the rice in a dry skillet until it turns tan. Grind coarsely in a spice grinder and set aside.
- Saute the ground meat in a frying pan without added oil until it has browned nicely, about 5 minutes, remove from the pan to cool while you chop the vegetables and herbs.
- When you are ready to make the salad, toss all the ingredients together, and serve in lettuce wraps. I like a little drizzle of sesame oil on top.
