This Thai-inspired dish is called "Ma Haw". The ground pork and peanut relish is traditionally eaten with a small piece of pineapple. However, prawn crackers makes a great - if not better - substitute. The crunchy prawn crackers goes extremely well with the savory and sweet relish.
Ingredients :
• 200 gr ground pork
• 100 gr ground peanut
• 2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 ½ tablespoons palm sugar
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
• 4 kaffir lime leaves, finely shredded
• 1 pack fried prawn crackers
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• Some cilantro or parsley leaves, for garnishing
Directions :
1. Heat up 1 tablespoon oil and stir-fry the chopped shallots until aromatic.
2. Add ground pork and stir-fry until the color changes. Use the spatula to break the lumps.
3. Add fish sauce, palm sugar, dark soy sauce, lime juice, and kaffir lime leaves into the ground pork and continue to stir-fry.
4. Sprinkle ground peanut into the ground pork, stir to blend well, dish out and set aside.
5. Place a heaped teaspoon of filling into a prawn cracker, garnish the topping with a cilantro or parsley leaf and serve immediately.
