Laab Khua

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 3 medium shallots
• 2 tbsp fish sauce
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• ½ cup fresh mint leaves
• 8 sheets rice paper wrappers

Instructions

1. 1

   Thinly slice 2 of the shallots and set aside. Finely chop the remaining 1 shallot for the dressing.

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the 1 lb ground pork and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. The meat should be sizzling and no longer pink.

3. 3

   Add the sliced shallots to the pork and stir-fry until they are golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. The shallots should smell nutty and look browned at the edges.

4. 4

   Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the 2 tbsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp lime juice, and the chopped shallot. Taste and adjust with more lime or fish sauce if needed.

5. 5

   Fold in the 0.5 cup mint leaves just until wilted. Serve warm with the 8 rice paper wrappers, dipping them in water briefly to soften before wrapping the meat.
