👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the ground pork: In a small pan over medium heat, add the lean ground pork and about 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it's fully cooked and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked ground pork, lime juice, fish sauce, and dried chili flakes. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
3. Add fresh herbs and toasted rice: Fold in the sliced shallots, green onions, fresh mint leaves, fresh cilantro, and toasted ground rice into the pork mixture. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Serve immediately: Larb is best served fresh, traditionally with sticky rice and an assortment of fresh vegetables like cabbage, long beans, or cucumbers.
