  • 2 Stems of lemon grass White part only, finely sliced

  • Jasmin rice to serve

Method
 

  1. Pre-cook rice
  2. Heat oil in a wok or frying pan. Add lemon grass, chillies & pork mince to wok. Stir-fry, breaking up any lumps of mince as it cooks, over high heat for 6 minutes or until cooked through.Transfer to a bowl, allow to rest.
  3. Add lime juice & rind, & the chilli sauce to cooled, mince mixture. Stir most of the coriander & mint leaves, onion & peanuts through the mince mixture. Arrange on a serving platter & sprinkle the rest of the leaves, onion & peanuts over the top.
  4. Serve with rice

Notes

For the most authentic experience, serve with cos lettuce leaves on the side. Spoon Larb mixture into leaves and eat with your hands!
