Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon light muscovado sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 garlic clove (chopped)
1 shallot (chopped)
2 teaspoons palm sugar (or golden caster sugar)
1 teaspoon salt
500 g boneless pork, lion (minced)
250 g rice noodles (cooked)
125 g bean sprouts
1 cup cilantro leaf

Steps:

  • Gently melt the light muscovado sugar with two-thirds of the fish sauce in a heavy based saucepan, stirring all the time.
  • Allow to cool a little then transfer it to a bowl and combine it with the garlic, shallot, palm or caster sugar, the remaining fish sauce and salt.
