  1. Peel the red onion and finely slice. Cut the tomatoes in half. Peel the cucumber (optional), cut into quarters and then thinly slice. Place all of the chopped ingredients in a large mixing bowl, cover with cling film and set aside.
  2. On a medium heat, add the oil to the wok and wait for it to heat up. Add the ground mince pork and fry for a few minutes until it changes colour. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning and sticking. Once the meat is cooked, turn off the heat and set aside to cool down.
  3. Thinly slice the chillis, place in a pestle & mortar, gently crush (this ensures that the spiciness of the chilli infuses with the rest of the ingredients). Add the fish sauce, lemon or lime juice, palm sugar and water to the mortar. Mix well together and taste (adjust to taste, if too sweet add more fish sauce or if too salty, add more palm sugar).
