PRETTY Peanuts
Place the chopped Peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
PREPARATION STATION
Rinse the mixed herbs. Pick and finely chop the rinsed coriander. Pick and roughly chop the rinsed mint. Trim off the very top and the base of the rinsed Lemongrass, then peel away the tough outer layers. Use a rolling pin or cleaver to lightly crush the lemongrass, slice it in half lengthways, then finely dice. Set everything aside.
FRY FOR FLAVOUR
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 5 minutes, add the diced Lemongrass and the grated garlic & ginger, and fry for the remaining time. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
TO THAI FOR
In a salad bowl, combine the Thai dressing, the finely chopped coriander, a sweetener, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss through the Cucumber ribbons, the daikon matchsticks, the carrot ribbons, the diced tomato, and the caramelised onions. Set aside.
BUTTER-BASTED Pork
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Pork dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the pork, fat-side down, until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the pork onto its side and sear until browned, 2-3 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
