Use the freshest, sweetest, crispest lettuce leaves you can find. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the shallots gently for five minutes. Add the pork, turn up the heat and cook for five to 10 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Stop when the pork is cooked and taking on some colour, and any liquid it releases has been driven off. Turn down the heat a little and add the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime zest, fish sauce, and sugar. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, take off the heat and add a good squeeze of lime juice. Taste and add more fish sauce or lime juice if you like. Tip the pork into a bowl and take it (hot or at room temperature) to the table with the lettuce, coriander, and peanuts alongside. To eat, spoon some pork on to a lettuce leaf, scatter with a few peanuts and coriander leaves, roll up and tuck in. Recipe FROM: MMMMM
