Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp sambal-oelek
  • 1 stalk lemongrass peeled and sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 4 scallions roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 Thai chili thinly sliced
  • 1 cup torn mint leaves
  • 1 cup torn cilantro leaves
  • 1 head Boston lettuce for serving

Sweet and Sour Sauce

  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp water
  • 2 tsp sambal-oelek
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp mint finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp cilantro finely sliced

Instructions

  • Heat your wok (or a large skillet) on high heat until smoking. Add the oil and pork to the wok and break up the meat as it begins to cook. When the pork starts to brown, about 2 minutes, add in the sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, a pinch of salt and continue to stir-fry.
  • Cook the pork for another minute until fragment and add in the sambal, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, scallions, ginger and chili. Cook until the shallots and garlic start to crisp, then add the mint and cilantro and remove from the heat.
  • While the pork rests, make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk thoroughly.
  • To serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter and spoon the pork into the pockets of the lettuce. Garnish with a squeeze of lime, fresh mint, and cilantro.
