Thai Pork Larb

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

2. 2

   While the rice is cooking, finely chop the shallot, green onion, cilantro, mint, and red chili. Mince the garlic.

3. 3

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ground pork. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix the juice of the limes, fish sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

5. 5

   Once the pork is cooked, remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the chopped herbs, shallot, green onion, and red chili. Pour over the lime dressing and toss everything together to combine.

6. 6

   Serve the pork larb warm with the cooked jasmine rice.
