Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the pork, garlic, ginger, shallots and minced jalapeño.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, chile oil and the Sriracha. Set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat the oil. Add the pork mixture and cook over high heat, stirring to break up the meat, until no pink remains, 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the water chestnuts and stir fry for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, wash the lettuce leaves and spin them dry in a spinner. They need to be very dry.

Excellent Thai flavors in this simple to make salad. It's very hearty and refreshing and could be a main salad. Made for CQ3.
