Time 1h30m

Yield Four first-course or two main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 rib lamb chops, boned
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon water
3/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped hot chilies, or more to taste
1/2 medium carrot
1 European seedless cucumber, unpeeled, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup jicama, cut into small dice
1/4 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup smashed and finely minced lemon grass, from the bottom part of the stalk
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, cut across into thin strips
1/2 cup mint leaves, cut across into thin strips
1 tablespoon nam pla (Thai fish sauce), or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and chilies in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.
  • Use a peeler to scrape the carrot into 2-inch thin strips. Cut the strips lengthwise to make a fine julienne. Place the carrots in a bowl with the cucumber, jicama, sprouts, lemon grass, cilantro and half of the mint. Toss and set aside.
  • Heat a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb, cook until medium-rare, 30 seconds per side. Cut across grain into thin slices. Season with salt.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and use your hand to squeeze the dressing into the salad. Mix in the nam pla. Divide among 2 or 4 plates, creating a tall mound. Top with the remaining mint. Drape the lamb over the salad and serve.
