- 3 tablespoons thinly sliced shallots
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Method
9 steps- Toast the glutinous rice in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until deeply golden.

- Add the ground pork and cook, stirring and breaking it apart, until completely cooked.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the pork and any remaining cooking liquid to a mixing bowl.
