Lemongrass Pork Meatballs (Larb Style)

If you are using fresh stalks of lemongrass, use only the whites at the bottom and discard the dried top part of the stalk.

Before grinding the kaffir lime leaves, remove the stem and spine. They prevent the leaves from being ground up into small bits Keep the pan moving when you’re toasting the glutinous rice to prevent it from burning.

If the meat is sticking to your hands during the meatball rolling step, keep a small bowl of water around to keep your palms damp before rolling
