Thai-inspired Pork Larb with Spicy Jalapeno Fused Olive Oil is a bold dish with ground pork, toasted rice powder, fresh herbs, tangy fish sauce, and lime dressing.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon uncooked sticky rice
• 2 tablespoons Jalapeno Fused Olive Oil

• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• Juice of 1 lime
• 3 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

4. Add the chili (if using), shallots, scallions, cilantro, and mint to the pork mixture. Stir-fry for one more minute until everything is well combined and heated through.
5. Taste the larb and adjust seasoning as needed with more chili, sugar, fish sauce, or lime juice according to your taste preferences.
6. Serve the Pork Larb with sticky rice, steamed jasmine rice, and/or lettuce leaves for wrapping.
