Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the grill to medium-high
Slice your lemongrass in half lengthways
Soak the sliced lemongrass in cold water – these are your lemongrass skewers

Peel and finely chop your shallot[s]
Slice half your red chilli[es] into rounds and finely chop the remaining
Wash then remove leaves (2 per person!) from your lettuce and set aside, shred the inner core

Add your white long grain rice to a pot with a lid with 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Combine your pork mince (remove the paper from the mince if required!), diced chilli, chopped shallot and half of your gluten free soy sauce (you'll use the rest later!) and half of your fish sauce in a bowl and mix everything together

Divide the pork mixture into 2 per person and press it onto each lemongrass skewer to form a long sausage shape
Add the lemongrass pork skewers to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!)
Place the tin foil-lined tray under the grill for 10-15 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Combine your peanut butter, ginger & garlic paste, remaining gluten free soy sauce and remaining fish sauce – this is your peanut dipping sauce

Add your cabbage & carrot slaw mix to a bowl with your rice vinegar and the shredded lettuce
Season with a pinch of sugar, mix it all together and set aside – this is your cabbage & carrot salad

Serve the Hue lemongrass pork skewers with the peanut dipping sauce, cabbage & carrot salad and cooked rice to the side
Tip: For fancy presentation, press the rice into a small bowl and turn out
Garnish with the chilli rounds and toasted sesame seeds
Enjoy!
