- Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add jasmine rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

- Set aside.

- Reduce heat to medium then add lime leaves, sweet soy seasoning and ginger lemongrass paste. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Remove pan from heat and add oyster sauce, a good squeeze of lime juice and the water (for the pork), stirring, until combined. Season with pepper.
- Bring everything to the table. Fill lettuce cups with Thai lemongrass pork larb, garlic rice and cucumber sticks. Tear over mint and garnish with chilli (if using)
