Larb Moo from Minced Pork Meat with Rice

Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Wash and finely chop the chili pepper. Place the cucumber and half of the chili pepper in a bowl, then season with salt, sugar, and white wine vinegar. Gently mix everything together.

Peel the garlic and shallots, then chop them finely. Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds, and cut it into small cubes.

Pour approximately 7 dl of water into a large pot and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, rinse the rice under cold water. Once the water boils, add the rice, season with salt, reduce the heat, and cook for 11–12 minutes.

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan, add the ground meat, and sauté for about 5 minutes while stirring constantly. Season with salt and black pepper.

Add the chopped garlic, shallots, the remaining chili pepper, and the diced bell pepper to the meat. Sauté briefly to allow the flavors to combine perfectly.

Season the mixture with sugar, soy sauce, and grated zest from the washed lime. Then drizzle with lime juice.

Wash the cilantro and chop it finely.

Serve the Larb Moo with rice on plates and accompany it with the cucumber salad. Finally, garnish the dish with the chopped cilantro.
