Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/3 cup raw cashews
  • 2 tsp avocado oil (or your favorite cooking oil)
  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 cup sliced shallots
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp Thai chili flakes (prik bon) (or any other chili flakes)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves
  • Lettuce and cucumbers (to serve)

Instruction

  • Heat a dry skillet over medium heat, and add cashews. Toast while constantly stirring until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Place the toasted cashews in the food processor, and pulse until crumbly. Set aside.
  • Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add ground pork and cook stirring while breaking up the meat until it's browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add shallot slices and quickly stir together, then turn off heat. The residual heat will soften the shallots.
  • Add lime juice, coconut aminos, fish sauce, chili flakes, cilantro, green onions, mint, and 3/4 of the toast cashew crumble. Stir well.
  • Taste to adjust seasoning, adding more fish sauce for saltiness, chili flakes for spice, or lime juice for more sourness.
  • Serve with lettuce and cucumbers, and garnish with rest of the cashew crumble on top. You can also serve with more mint leaves, cilantro, and green onions on the side.
