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, pick the mint leaves and slice the cucumber.
Heat a griddle pan over high heat and grill the pork shoulder for 6 minutes per side, until charred at the edges and it reaches 63°C on a meat thermometer at the thickest point.
Rest the pork for 3 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
Toss the warm pork with the fish sauce, lime juice and chilli flakes in a mixing bowl.
Fold in the toasted rice powder, shallots and spring onions.
Scatter over the coriander and mint and serve with the sliced cucumber.
