Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise and slice into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Remove outer layer of lemongrass, then halve lengthwise. Place on a cutting board, cut-side down. Using the back of a spoon or a pot, forcefully hit lemongrass to crush, then chop very finely.
Toast peanuts
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add peanuts to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.) 
  • Transfer to a small bowl.
Make patties
3
  • To a medium bowl, add pork, lemongrass, garlic, soy sauce and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Season with pepper, then combine. 
  • Divide pork mixture into 8 (16) equal portions. 
  • Roll into balls, then flatten into 1/2-inch-thick patties. (NOTE: Your mixture may look wet; this is normal. In step 4, you can carefully reshape patties when cooking.)
Cook patties
4
  • Heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then patties. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Cook for 4-5 min per side, until browned all over and cooked through.** 
Assemble salad
5
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together half the sweet chili sauce, vinegar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • Add spring mix, carrots and green onions. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Remove the pan from heat, then add remaining sweet chili sauce. Gently toss to coat patties. 
  • Divide salad between bowls, then tear cilantro over top. 
  • Top with patties.
  • Sprinkle peanuts over top.
