Preparation
- Step 1
Meat can be cooked in a nonstick skillet, in a broiler or on a charcoal, wood or gas grill. If grilling, build a fire or heat gas grill; place rack 4 inches or more from the heat source.
- Step 2
If using ground meat, mince shallots, garlic, lemon grass and chili, and combine them with meat, salt, pepper, nam pla and sugar. If meat is in chunks, combine it in a food processor with those ingredients, and process until all are minced; do not overprocess.
- Step 3
Divide mixture into 4 large burger-shape patties or 8 small hot-dog-shape ones. Cook until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total. Serve with lime wedges or mustard, on hamburger rolls, baguettes or rice noodles, or atop a salad.
