About 5 tablespoons of uncooked Thai sticky rice (but for the actual dish I used about 1 heaping tablespoon after we made it into powder - see directions)
300 grams (1 pound) minced pork (minced chicken or minced beef will also work well)
½ - 1 tablespoon of chili flakes (prik bon)
⅛ tablespoon of sugar (just a pinch)
½ tablespoon of fish sauce (here's the fish sauce I use)
1 - 2 limes (I used the juice from about 1.5 limes)
3 - 4 small shallots (Thai shallots are only about the size of grapes, so if you have bigger shallots just use however much you want)
A few leaves of Culantro - this is an herb also known as long coriander, it tastes a little like cilantro (if you can't find any cilantro, don't worry about it, it's not a must)
3 - 5 spring onions (green onions)
About 20 leaves or so of fresh mint
