How to Make Thai Ginger Pork Appetizer Or Meal
- In a medium nonstick skillet, sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes over 1 pound ground pork. Sauté until lightly browned, breaking up any clumps.
- Add 1/2 cup slivered onions, 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, and 2 stalks lemongrass (finely chopped, white part only).
- Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons honey.
- Sauté for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add 2 tablespoons dry sherry and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Stir in 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (roughly chopped).
- For appetizer servings (4): Spoon the pork mixture into fresh cabbage leaves. Garnish with chopped green onion tops and cilantro leaves.
- For a complete meal: Serve the pork mixture over 2 cups steamed white rice. Serve alongside 1 cup steamed sugar snap peas and 1 cup sliced carrots. Garnish with chopped green onion tops and cilantro leaves.
