Ingredients: 10 oz ground pork (20% fat); 20 Thai holy basil leaves, roughly chopped; 4 garlic cloves, minced; 1–2 Thai bird's-eye chilies, finely minced; 1 tbsp fish sauce; ½ tsp palm sugar; Pinch of white pepper; 1 cup cooked jasmine rice, cooled and dried; 1 large egg; 2 tbsp neutral oil, divided; Fleur de sel; For the charred lime aioli: 1 lime, halved; 3 tbsp neutral oil; 1 tbsp rice vinegar; 1 egg yolk; ½ tsp fish sauce; Pinch of white pepper; Crispy shallots and scallion greens for garnish

A composed lunch: a ground pork patty infused with Thai holy basil, garlic, and chilies, seared until golden and juicy, nestled atop a crispy pan-fried rice cake bound with a touch of egg, and drizzled with a charred lime aioli that bridges heat and brightness. The technique here is the sear-and-sauce play—building umami through fond and finishing with a restaurant-quality emulsion.
