Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potato[es] (skins on) into chips
Add the chips to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp

Bash your lemongrass with a rolling pin, remove the tough outer layer[s] and discard, then chop the softer inner core[s] in half
Peel your garlic and shallot[s] and chop in half
Strip your mint leaves from their stems, discard the stems
Add the garlic, shallot halves, lemongrass, half the mint leaves and half your coriander (you'll use the rest later!) to a food processor and blitz until finely chopped – this is your lemongrass paste

Once blitzed, combine the lemongrass paste, pork mince (remove the paper if required!) and soy sauce in a large bowl and give everything a good mix up – this is your lemongrass pork mince
Divide the lemongrass pork mince and shape into one burger patty per person

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the lemongrass patty[ies], press it down firmly with a spatula and cook for 5 min
Reduce the heat to medium-high, flip the patty[ies] and cook for a further 5 min or until charred and cooked through (no pink meat!)

While the patty[ies] is cooking, peel your carrot[s], then continue to peel lengths until you end up with a pile of carrot ribbons
Add the carrot ribbons to a bowl with your rice vinegar and give everything a good mix up and set aside – these are your quick-pickled carrot ribbons
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]

Slice your ciabatta[s] in half
Add the halved ciabatta[s] to a baking tray (cut side up) and put the tray in the oven for 5 min or until they're hot and crusty

Combine your red chilli relish and mayo in a small bowl – this is your sweet chilli mayo

Top the base of the toasted ciabatta with some sweet chilli mayo, the remaining coriander and mint, a lemongrass patty and the quick-pickled carrot ribbons then top with the ciabatta lid
Serve with the chips to the side and drizzle over the remaining sweet chilli mayo, then top with the chopped spring onion
Enjoy!
