1 tsp maple syrup
½ tsp red chili flakes, or more to taste

½ cup fresh mint leaves, roughly torn

Instructions

1
Toast the rice: place the uncooked jasmine rice in a small dry skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the grains are deep golden and smell nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind to a coarse powder. Set aside.
2
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and the meat is cooked through, about 7–9 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from the heat.
