Modified Laap Muu (Lao Pork Salad)

1. 1

   Grill pork loin steaks on bbq or griddle pan until just cooked and nicely coloured on both sides. Put to side to allow to cool.

2. 2

   Heat oils in pan. Finely dice the onion and chilli before adding to pan. Cook out to remove raw onion taste while retaining a bit of bite.

3. 3

   Once cool enough to handle, dice cooked pork steaks and add to pan.

4. 4

   Add the ground toasted rice.

5. 5

   Add lime juice and fish sauce. Combine and cook momentarily before removing from heat and adding finely chopped mint (I used lemon mint in this instance which added a really interesting floral/citrus tang).

6. 6

   Allow to cool until just warm or room temperature, season to taste with added fish sauce and lime, garnish with extra mint leaves and serve.
