Lily buds add a distinctive, earthy flavor to this pork dish.

125 g/4 oz minced pork
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon palm or brown sugar

Directions

Wash lily buds and remove the green calyx from each. Heat peanut oil in a wok and fry the garlic and coriander root on low heat, stirring, until fragrant.
