Method
Toast the jasmine rice in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until deep golden, then grind to a coarse powder with a mortar and pestle.
Thinly slice the shallots and spring onions, roughly chop the coriander and pick the mint leaves.
Finely chop the fish fillets into small pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the chopped fish and stir-fry for 5 minutes, breaking it up gently, until opaque and it reaches 63°C on a meat thermometer.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir the fish sauce, lime juice, chilli flakes and palm sugar through the hot fish.
Fold in the toasted rice powder, shallots and spring onions.
Scatter over the coriander and mint and serve while still warm.
