Thai Pork Salad With Chilies and Mint
Con Poulos
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and cook, stirring, until the liquid is almost evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes more.
Step 3
Stir together the lime juice, jalapeño peppers, and the remaining 4 tablespoons of fish sauce and 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small bowl.
Step 4
Divide the lettuce among bowls, top with the pork mixture, shallot, carrots, mint, and peanuts, and drizzle with the lime dressing.

One of my go-to recipes. My changes: I replace lime juice w/ rice vinegar, use rotisserie chicken if I'm in a hurry or have it on hand, replace the peppers with a dash of sriracha and serve the salad on a bed of rice noodles (mai-fun). The fish sauce is not too much to me but I'm biased. Love, love, love this recipe.

This wasn't very good. The five tablespoons of fish sauce seems like a lot to me. While it is supposed to enhance the flavor it seemed to overwhelm the dish (especially with the pork). I am indifferent about fish sauce but just seemed to be too much. Someone else rated it five stars so maybe it is just me.
