Thai Ground Pork Lettuce Wraps
In a bowl, mix 2 pounds ground pork,1 teaspoon minced garlic, 2 small minced shallots and 1 tablespoons fish sauce. Heat oil in a skillet, add the pork mixture and cook over high heat, stirring to break up the meat. When the meat is dry and no longer pink, sprinkle 1 teaspoon rice powder over pork and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off heat and let pork cool for about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons fish sauce, 2 teaspoons of rice powder, 2 finely sliced shallots, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 teaspoons sugar, 3 tablespoons roughly chopped mint, and serve over Boston lettuce leaves.
