Step-by-step
- Using a heavy knife, chop the pork into small pieces, then chop vigorously and quite heavily until you turn the pork into a mince. This is a Thai technique to turn good quality meat into mince.
- In a pestle and mortar lightly pound together the garlic, ginger, chilli, lemongrass and coriander root until it turns into a rough paste.
- In a wok on a high heat, fry together this paste with some vegetable oil and then add the mince and cook through for about 3-4 minutes. Add the shrimp paste, fish sauce, lime juice, lime segments along with the sugar and cook for another minute. Add the green beans, spring onions and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Take off the heat and toss through the fresh mint and basil leaves.
- Serve with Thai sticky rice.

This looked great on paper, unfortunately the reality was rather different. The lime simply overpowered all the other ingredients, and it was all we could taste. I would recommend anyone who tries this to use no more than one lime. IMO, there should only be a hint of lime.....
