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

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.
