Nam Sod (Pork Salad with Mint, Peanuts and Ginger) image

A very refreshing taste experience that paired well with a bottle of Gewurztraminer that I wanted to use up. We use the lettuce to make little bundles of the salad. This recipe is from the book "Thai Cooking Class" by Asia Books.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra fish sauce and lime juice, which helped to improve the flavor. I also think it would be better with some fresh herbs, like cilantro or basil.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The flavors were great and the pork was very tender. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

I'm not usually a fan of pork, but this salad changed my mind. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the dressing was the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. I highly recommend this recipe!

This nam sod was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were so bright and fresh, and the peanuts added a nice crunchy texture. I will definitely be making this again.
