Ingredients:

3 tsp glutinous rice
450g beef (eg topside), cut into 3 pieces
1 tbsp fish sauce (Nam Pla)
2 tsp anchovy paste (ie anchovy fillets pounded to a smooth paste)
1 tbsp dried galangal soaked in hot water for 1 hour before being finely chopped
1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
1 tbsp spring onion (green part only), shredded

To Garnish:
1 red chilli, sliced into fine rings
juice of 1/2 lime

Method:

Fry the rice in a hot, dry, wok or frying pan until brown then transfer to a coffee grinder and grind to a paste. Meanwhile, arrange the beef in a roasting tin and cook in an oven pre-heated to 200°C for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to be handled. Shred the beef into strips and dredge in the powdered rice.

Mix together the fish sauce and anchovy paste in a pan and cook over medium heat until you have a smooth paste. Add the beef along with the galangal, coriander and spring onion and stir well.

Arrange the meat mixture on a warmed serving dish and garnish with the chilli. Squeeze the lime juice over the top and serve.
