METHOD

  3. Add the lime zest and juice to a bowl along with the honey and fish sauce. Stir to combine.

  4. Add a tablespoon of oil to a frying pan on a medium high heat and add the chopped meat and chilli. Fry until the meat is crisping up. Remove from heat and add straight to the bowl of dressing.

  5. Add the sliced spring onions and the ground, toasted rice, toss everything together, add half the herbs and peanuts and toss again.

  6. Serve a pile of the larb with the extra herbs, sticky rice and a dressed salad, mango would be particularly good.
