Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
  2. Add the minced pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the water or stock (1/2 cup) and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Stir in the fish sauce and lime juice to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  6. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in most of the chopped mint leaves, reserving a few for garnish.
  8. Spoon the sauce over rice or noodles and garnish with the remaining mint leaves before serving.
