Method:
-
Prepare all the ingredients first so that you have everything to hand.
-
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan on the simmering plate. Add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass and chilli and fry gently for a couple of minutes. Move the pan to the boiling plate and add the pork. Fry briskly, stirring all the time until cooked through. This can be done on the floor of the roasting oven, if preferred.
-
Pour over the fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice and cook for a minute. Sprinkle over the sugar and cook for a further couple of minutes, allowing the pork to caramelise on the edges.
-
Spoon the pork mixture into the lettuce leaves and garnish with thinly sliced spring onions, red chilli and the coriander leaves.
Aga Range Cooker Tips:
- The floor of the roasting oven can be used as a third hotplate and is ideal for browning meat, enabling you to keep lids down and preserve the temperature in the ovens if you have a traditional model of Aga range cooker.
