Spicy Pork Steak Salad

Mo Yang Nam Tok is a Thai meat salad made with grilled pork loin steak that has been thinly sliced. The Steak is heated with a little water, seasonings, ground rice, and herbs to make a thick salad dressing. We mix in a whole lot of fresh mint, cilantro, shallots and green onion to make a delicious salad. While not much of an actual salad on its own, Moo Nam Tok is usually served with a big plate of fresh raw vegetables such as cabbage, green beans, and cucumbers.

• 1/2 pound Pork Tenderloin
  (grilled medium-rare on barbeque, sliced into thin strips)
• 2 Tablespoons Toasted Ground White Rice
• 2 teaspoons Sun Dried Thai Chili
  (ground, seeds left in)
• 1/2 cup Spearmint leaves
  (leaves only, stems removed)
• 1/4 cup Red Shallots
  (halved, then sliced)
• 3 - 4 Coriander / Cilantro Leaves
  (sprigs of cilantro, stems removed)

  ((spring onion) sliced into 1/2 inch pieces)

  (whole, to use as a garnish)
• 1 - 2 teaspoons Lime juice
  (lime juice, plus 1/2 lime to serve on the side)
• 1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce

Basic Directions:

Grill 2 small pork loin steaks on a barbeque until medium rare. Allow to cool, then slice into thin strips.

Heat about 1/4 cup of water in a small saucepan until boiling, then add the sliced meat, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and ground chili. Stir it up well, then let it get hot again.

Add ground rice, stir it in well, then remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.

Add shallots, cilantro, green onion, and mint. Toss everything together well.

Serve both servings on a medium-sized salad plate. Arrange some fresh shallot slices, cilantro, green onion, and a healthy portion of mint leaves on top. Sprinkle a pinch of ground rice over the top. Squeeze a few drops of limes juice around the salad. Lay 3 - 4 whole dry chilies on top.
