Introduction
Method
- Don't skip on the toasted ground rice it adds a unique nutty flavour to the dish. Prepare this in advance by toasting raw sticky rice in a saucepan until dark brown, taking care not to burn it. Leave the rice grains to cool, then grind in a coffee grinder until a fine powder.
- Add the minced pork to a pan with the water and briskly braise for a few minutes.
- Add the kaffir lime leaves and toasted rice, stirring until the pork has absorbed the water and rice powder. Remove from the heat.
- Add the remainder of the ingredients, stirring everything well.
- Serve immediately, garnished with mint leaves.
Tip: Temper the spiciness of the dish by wrapping the pork with sticky rice inside lettuce leaves.
