Instructions
- Mix the minced pork with the kroeung paste, fish sauce, sugar and a pinch of pepper. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Cook the mixture in a pan over medium heat for 8 minutes, breaking it up, until the meat is well cooked and lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, grate the carrot and cut the cucumber into thin sticks. Mix them with the rice vinegar and a pinch of salt to make a tangy topping.
- Make a thin omelette with the eggs and cut it into strips.
- Open the rolls without cutting them all the way through, spread pâté inside, then fill with the kroeung pork, omelette, coriander and sliced chilli.
- Add the pickled vegetables and a touch of mayonnaise, close the bread and serve straight away while still crisp.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian version. Replace the pork with crumbled tofu and the fish sauce with soy sauce, keeping the kroeung.
