Chinese kale salad recipe:
(Serves four)

1 cup pork shoulder, grilled
1 cup Chinese kale, stems only
Cold water as needed
1 teaspoon coriander roots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon bird's eye chilis
1 tablespoon Thai green chilis, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon pickled garlic, sliced
3 tablespoons garlic, finely sliced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons syrup

Slice the pork thinly and set aside. Slice the Chinese kale thinly and soak in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

In a mortar, pound the coriander roots, chilis, pickled garlic, and one third of the garlic, until thoroughly incorporated. Spoon the paste into a bowl and stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, and syrup. Set aside.

In a serving dish, arrange the kale and pork and top with the rest of the garlic. Pour the dressing all over and serve.
