Ingredients:
Step 1: Cook the Pork
Begin your culinary adventure by heating a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and chicken stock into the pan, allowing the mixture to cook for about 5 minutes. This simple yet effective step ensures your pork is perfectly browned and infused with the rich flavors of the stock, laying the foundation for our delightful Larb Salad.
Pro Tip: Keep stirring to prevent the pork from clumping together.
Step 2: Add Flavorings
To the cooking pork, introduce the minced garlic, finely chopped shallots, and slices of red chili peppers. Continue to cook this mixture for another 5 minutes, till the pork is thoroughly cooked. It's at this point that the dish begins to take shape, as the aromatic garlic and shallots meld with the heat of the chili peppers, promising a salad that's bursting with flavor.
Pro Tip: Adjust the chili peppers according to your heat preference.
Step 3: Prepare the Dressing
While the pork cools slightly, seize the moment to whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and grated ginger in a medium-sized mixing bowl. This blend of tangy, sweet, salty, and spicy elements forms a dressing that's both complex and incredibly satisfying, promising to elevate the salad to new heights of deliciousness.
Pro Tip: Whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
With the dressing prepared, introduce the slightly cooled pork mixture to the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure every piece of pork is coated in the dressing, absorbing the vibrant flavors. Then, gently fold in the fresh herbs, or leave them on the side for guests to add to their liking. Serve this wondrous concoction with crisp lettuce leaves and fresh tomato slices, allowing everyone to create lettuce wraps filled with this delicious Larb Salad.
Pro Tip: Layer the herbs and pork mixture for a refreshing bite.
