This is another 'gup-gam' style dish, a small spicy dish designed to be eaten with beer or whiskey to cut through the alcohol. Its bulk comes from glass noodle and nuts, with pork mince and spicy onion salad to add the strong flavours.

  • 100 gms Pork Mince
  • 100 gms Glass Noodle
  • 50 gms Peanut
  • 20 gms Bird Chillies

  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sugar
  • 200 ml Water
  • 2 Garlic Cloves

Preparation

1. Boil water in the saucepan, add the salt and chop the garlic and add it into the pan.
2. When the water is boiling, add the pork mince and glass noodle and simmer for 4 minutes. Then pour out half of the water.
3. Chop the chillies, spring onion, and coriander into a pot with glass noodles.
4. Toast the peanuts in a dry frying pan to bring out the flavour.
5. Add the fish sauce, sugar, lemon juice, and peanuts and then mix.
