Ingredients
- 500g pork mince
- 4 garlic cloves, finely grated
- Thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated
- ½ bunch of coriander, stems finely chopped and leaves picked
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce, plus 1 tablespoon extra
- 4 lemongrass stalks, each cut into thirds
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthways and thinly sliced
- 2 cups bean sprouts
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- ½ bunch of Vietnamese mint, leaves picked
- ½ head of butter lettuce, leaves separated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
Method
- Place pork, garlic, ginger, coriander stems, white pepper and one tablespoon fish sauce in a large bowl. Mix well with clean hands. Divide mixture into twelve portions and shape around the lemongrass skewers to form sausage shapes. Place on a tray, cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix lemon juice, brown sugar, chilli and remaining one tablespoon fish sauce in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Combine cucumber, bean sprouts, spring onion, mint and coriander leaves in a large bowl. Pour over dressing and toss to coat.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add skewers and cook, turning regularly, for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown all over.
- Divide skewers and lettuce leaves between serving bowls. Fill with herb salad and garnish with peanuts.
Cooking Tip: Vietnamese mint has a more peppery than minty flavour. If it’s not your thing, mint, basil or Thai basil will work equally well.
Nutrition Tip: Asian salads are full of colour, flavour and texture! They are a great example of how vegetables should be treated to make us want to go back for more.
