| INGREDIENTS: |
| 1 stalk fresh lemon grass or 1 tablespoon
dried |
1-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 shallots or white part of 2 scallions,
chopped |
| 1 clove garlic, chopped |
1/2 pound ground beef |
2 tablespoons shrimp sauce (mam ruoc) |
| 2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds |
2 tablespoons granulated sugar |

| 1 |
If you are using fresh lemon grass, discard the outer
leaves and upper two-thirds of the stalk, slice the remainder
crosswise thinly and chop fine. If using dried lemon grass, it must
be soaked in hot water for 2 hours, then drained and chopped fine. |

Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok over a high
flame. Add the combined shallots and garlic and fry for 1 minute;
add the lemon grass, then stir and add the beef. Keep mixing
constantly to separate the beef and to eliminate large pieces. Turn
the heat down to medium and fry until the meat turns white. Add the
shrimp sauce, sesame seeds, sugar, and black pepper. Keep stirring
until the meat becomes quite dry. Remove from the pan and serve with
rice. |
