Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add yam cubes and cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges brown and centers soften.

  2. Step 2

    Push yams to the side. Add ground pork to the empty space and cook 4 minutes, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains.

  3. Step 3

    Add shrimp, lime zest, fish sauce, and chili paste. Toss constantly for 3 minutes until shrimp turn opaque and everything is coated.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat. Squeeze lime juice over the top and fold in half the cilantro and scallions.

  5. Step 5

    Divide between bowls or plates. Garnish with remaining herbs and serve hot.
