Ingredients
- 210.6 g Ground Turkey
- 165.6 g Rice, white, long-grain, cooked
- 238.6 g Broccoli, raw
Method
- 01In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with a finely minced paste of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, galangal, and a touch of palm sugar to emulate the aromatic profile of Sai Oua. Shape the mixture into small, firm patties.
- 02Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey patties and sear until deeply browned and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring they are cooked through and have developed a complex, spicy crust. Remove and set aside to rest.
- 03In the same pan, toss the broccoli florets with a splash of water, covering briefly to steam until bright green and tender-crisp.
- 04Serve the aromatic turkey patties alongside the cooked rice and steamed broccoli. Garnish with fresh lime wedges to provide the necessary acid to cut through the spice. Eat with your hands, wrapping small portions of rice around the turkey for an authentic morning experience.
