- Heat the oil in a large wok, (you can use a frying pan if you don't own a wok). Stir fry the ginger, lemon grass, chilli and garlic for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the pork and cook for about 5 minutes or until it is cooked through.
- Remove the pork mixture from the stove and allow to cool slightly. Combine the lime juice, fish sauce and brown sugar. Pour over the pork mixture.
- Toss the salad greens, onion, mint and most of coriander leaves, (leave some coriander to garnish), with the pork mixture. Serve the salad in a bowl and garnish with the reserved coriander leaves.
