Thai Street Food Made at Home - Crazy Easy and Crazy Delicious in 30 Minutes

Chop all ingredients "mise en place." Grab a bowl and combine the shallots, fish sauce, hot peppers, sugar, lime juice, and half of the scallions, mint, and cilantro.

You’re nearly halfway done :) Heat 1 Tbsp neutral oil (link Pantry one) over medium heat and cook the ground pork for about 5 minutes.

This step is not meant to brown the ground pork, but just to cook it until it’s no longer pink.

I use a wooden spoon and move the meat around frequently to achieve even cooking and break up any clumps.

Remove the pork and drain the juices (in other words, use a slotted spoon to take the meat out of the skillet).

Let the meat cool a couple minutes.

Combine the meat with the sauce and give it good stir.

Taste it.

Now is a good time to add some Maldon salt to brighten up the flavors a bit.

Serve over cooked rice, top with remaining scallions, mint, and cilantro, and serve with an ice cold beer (a Corona Extra works excellent).
