Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and edges are golden-brown, 6–8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour fish sauce and lime juice into the skillet, then add sliced chili and shallot.

  4. Step 4

    Toss for 1 minute until fragrant, then scatter rice powder over and stir until evenly coated.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat. Arrange lettuce leaves on a plate, spoon larb into each leaf, and top with mint and cilantro.

  6. Step 6

    Serve with lime wedges on the side.
