How to make Larb Moo (Spicy Minced Pork Salad)
- In a medium skillet or wok, combine 1 lb ground pork and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the pork with a spoon, until the water has evaporated and the pork is cooked through and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from the cooked pork and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Allow the pork to cool slightly.
- While the pork cools, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice 2 shallots, thinly slice 4 green onions, and roughly chop 1/2 cup fresh cilantro and 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3-4 tablespoons fish sauce, 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons toasted sticky rice powder (khao kua), and 1-2 teaspoons dried chili flakes to create the dressing.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the slightly cooled pork in the large mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat the pork evenly.
- Add the sliced shallots, green onions, fresh cilantro, and fresh mint leaves to the bowl with the pork. Gently toss until all ingredients are well combined.
- Taste the Larb Moo and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice for sourness, or chili flakes for heat to your preference.
- Serve the Larb Moo immediately at room temperature, accompanied by crisp lettuce leaves (such as butter or romaine) for scooping, sliced cucumbers, and a side of sticky rice.
