The simplest and most delicious Laotian style appetizer!
Ingredients:
Rice crackers: 500 grams
Water: 1/2 liter
Sugar: 150 grams
Fish sauce: 5 tbsp
Fermented fish sauce: 1 tsp
Minced pork: 200 grams
Fried shallots: 150 grams

Directions:
Pound or food process rice crackers finely (If you do not have this ready, you can always make it yourself. Using leftover sticky rice, sun dried them for several days to be dried completely and deep fried in a hot oil for about 5 - 10 mins or until golden brown).
To make the stock: in a low heat, add sugar and melt them into a dark brown color, add salt, fish sauce, fermented fish sauce and water then bring it to a boil. Add minced pork (bigs balls). Set the broth and the pork aside or until cool completely.
Process fried shallots and fried garlic finely as well as process minced pork and set aside.
Mixing: Add the dry ingredients first - rice powder, ground shallots/garlic, minced pork and then mix them together until combined and then add then gradually add the stocks until they are all gone.
We usually serve the rice paste with sliced lemongrass, sliced, tomatoes and sliced cilantro with lettuce and betel leaves for wrapping; along with roasted peanuts and roasted chilis.
