Fresh, savoury and packed with herbs, this Thai-inspired salad combines seasoned pork or beef with lime, mint, cilantro, chilies and crunchy peanuts.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Bangkok Night Market
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground pork or beef
  • Fresh cilantro and mint
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 1/2 cup peanuts, roasted
  • 2 red chillies, small
  • 1 Boston lettuce
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar

Directions

  1. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add ground pork, stirring to break up until it's browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. Add shallot slices and quickly stir together, then turn off heat. The residual heat will soften the shallots.

  3. Add lime juice, Bangkok Night Market, chillies, fish sauce, cilantro, green onions, and mint, stirring well.

  4. Taste to adjust seasoning, adding more fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tartness, or spice.

  5. Serve on lettuce, and garnish with more fresh herbs and chopped roasted peanuts.
