1 pound minced pork
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup kratiem (garlic), minced
¼ cup bai pak chi (coriander or cilantro leaves), chopped
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup lime juice
1 tablespoon takhrai (lemon grass) very finely chopped
1 teaspoon phom kha (galangal or lao powder)
1 tablespoon hom daeng (shallot), chopped
1 tablespoon kapi (fermented shrimp paste)
1 tablespoon prik ki nu (green Birdseye chilis), finely chopped
