Step-by-step
- Cook the rice as per instructions on the packet.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, and gently fry the garlic and chillies. Add the pork mince. Use a wooden spoon to roughly break it up pork mince, and move it around the pan, so that it cooks all over.
- After 3-4 minutes of cooking, add the fish sauce and soy. Stir in the pan for 30 seconds so the meat is coated in the juices.
- Use a slotted spoon to take the pork from the pan, put in a serving bowl and generously garnish with the coriander/mint/crispy-fried shallots/peanuts/sesame seeds/lime.
- Put the cooked rice in rice bowls, and serve with any other condiments you fancy (I had some leftover chilli tomato jam – a superb recipe!), and also the lettuce leaves.
- Use the lettuce leaf as a vehicle. Put in a spoonful of the pork, a spoonful of the rice, and a blob of whatever condiment you fancy into the lettuce leaf, and merrily shovel it into your mouth.
