Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 Thai chilies with seeds, thinly sliced, optional
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup torn basil, mint and cilantro leaves
1 Thai chili with seeds, thinly sliced, optional
1 butterhead or iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients for the Dipping Sauce and whisk to blend. Set aside or refrigerate until use.
  • For the Filling, heat up the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the garlic and cook until golden brown. Add the sugar and cook for 20 seconds.
  • Mix in the pork and cook over moderate high heat. Break the meat finely and cook thoroughly until no pink, about 4 minutes. Add in the fish sauce and soy sauce, stir to mix. Add in salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • To assemble, take a tablespoon or two (depending on the size of the leave) of the ground pork filling and fill the middle of the lettuce leave. Add the dipping sauce on top of the meat, wrap and enjoy. If you like some extra heat, you may add the Thai chilies in your lettuce wraps, which is optional.

HERBY PORK LARB WITH CHILE



Herby Pork Larb With Chile image

In this take on the classic Thai dish larb moo, ground pork is pan-cooked, then stirred together with a combination of funky fish sauce, fresh and dried chiles, shallots, lime juice and an abundance of fresh herbs for brightness. If you don't eat pork, ground chicken or turkey will work well in its place. Making the toasted rice powder is a little fussy, but it gives the dish an authentic nutty flavor and crunch. That said, if you skip it, it will still be delicious. If you have the time, top this dish with crispy shallots: It takes the whole thing to the next level, as does a flurry of chive blossoms when in season. Serve this spicy dish with sticky rice, and grilled or roasted wedges of cabbage squeezed with lime, but for a low-key weeknight, plain white rice and lettuce leaves work just as well.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons jasmine rice
1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rounds (about 1 scant cup)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup lime juice from about 2 to 3 limes, plus more for serving (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 bird's eye chile, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup torn mint leaves
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro, leaves and tender stems
1 pound ground pork
Kosher salt
Flaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the rice, stirring frequently, until it starts to smell nutty and turns golden in color, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle or clean spice grinder and allow to cool for a minute or two. Grind or pulse the rice until it has a powderlike consistency. You should have about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons. Set aside and wipe out the pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together shallots, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, bird's eye chile, chile flakes, half the scallions, half the mint and half the cilantro. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add pork, breaking meat apart with the back of a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until meat is no longer pink, but not browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove pork from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to the bowl with the chile-herb mixture, add the rice powder and stir together until combined. Season with kosher salt to taste.
  • Top with remaining herbs and serve. Season with flaky salt and an extra squeeze of lime, if desired.
