Ingredients
- 1 iceberg lettuce, chilled
- 500g minced pork
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 200g dried rice vermicelli
- 2 tbsp torn mint leaves
- 2 tbsp torn coriander leaves
- Title:Dressing
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 fresh red chilli, sliced
- 8 bamboo skewers
Method
Soak eight bamboo skewers in water to prevent them burning. Dry-fry the rice in a small pan until lightly golden. Grind to a powder and set aside. Separate the lettuce leaves and chill.
Combine the ground rice, pork, garlic, salt, pepper, fish sauce and sugar and knead until well mixed.
Boil the vermicelli for 2 to 3 minutes until just cooked, drain and rinse in cold water.
To make the dressing, mix the sugar and lime juice, then add the fish sauce and chilli. Toss the drained noodles and torn mint and coriander leaves in the dressing.
With wet hands, roll the pork mixture into balls the size of a walnut. Thread the balls onto the drained wooden skewers (three to a skewer) and grill on or under a pre-heated grill until golden brown, turning occasionally.
To serve
Serve with a few extra mint and coriander leaves and chilled lettuce leaves for wrapping.
