Steps:
- Soak bean thread in water for at least 5 minutes, then use scissors to cut it a few times into 2-3 inch pieces (see picture). Boil in water for just 2 minutes, drain, place in bowl, drizzle a small amount of vegetable oil over noodles to prevent them sticking together, and set aside. To prepare khao koor: get a skillet fairly hot, and add a couple of tablespoons of uncooked jasmine rice. Keep in movement until the rice starts to turn golden brown. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Grind to a fairly coarse powder in a mortar and pestle. The powder should retain some texture. In a large mixing bowl, add shallot, cooked pork, khao koor, ground Thai chile powder, fish sauce, and lime juice. Toss gently until mixed well. Taste it and adjust flavor as you like. You might want a bit less chile powder to tone it down, more lime juice to add sour, or sugar to add sweet flavor. Add bean thread noodles, spring onion, cilantro, and toss it together a little (not too much). Transfer to a dish, we prefer over leafy greens, and top with a generous amount of whole fresh mint leaves. Enjoy!
