Vietnamese salad with crispy minced pork, mint and chili

This super-easy Vietnamese salad features rice, crunchy vegetables, fresh mint leaves and crispy pork with deep and spicy flavours. And, when you think about it, pork is a recurring ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine. In the mind of a native speaker, the work “meat” refers to pork. That is because traditionally the people in Vietnam did not raise cows for meat or dairy products. A big difference from many Western countries.
