Ingredients

400g pork mince
1 stalk lemongrass
1 thumb ginger
2-3 cloves garlic
1-2 Birds Eye chilli
Handful coriander with stalks
2 lime leaves
2 Tbsp toasted Green Dragon rice, ground in a pestle and mortar
1 egg
2 Tbsp fish sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
Oil for frying
Sweet chilli sauce to serve

Method

Preparation

Toast the rice in a dry pan until golden brown, then crush in a pestle and mortar.

Finely chop the lime leaves, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chilli, and coriander.

Place in a bowl with the pork and 2 Tbsp of the rice grain.

Season with the fish sauce and a pinch of sugar. Add an egg and mix well. Form the mixture into a ball. Scoop it up in your hand and drop it back into the bowl around ten times, this binds the mixture together. Form a few gold ball sized meatballs and flatten into patties.

Cooking

Sprinkle with extra toasted rice crumb, and fry in a pan on a medium to high heat, until golden brown (3-4 minutes each side). Serve with sweet chilli sauce and enjoy!
