  Step 1

• Prepare rice according to package directions.

  Step 2

• In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the coconut until golden brown. Stir
  frequently to avoid burning. Once toasted, set aside to cool.

  Step 3

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of canola oil over medium heat. Add the pork sausage
  and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.

  Step 4

• In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut, sausage, red curry paste, eggs,
  breadcrumbs, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and green onions. Mix thoroughly until all
  ingredients are well incorporated.

  Step 5

• Use your hands to shape the mixture into small patties or balls.

  Step 6

• In the same skillet, add remaining canola oil, if needed and heat over medium-high.
  Fry the patties in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4
  minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess
  oil.

Cooking with Fish Sauce

Very few ingredients are capable of bringing instant show stopping flavor to a dish like fish sauce can: it´s a combination of sweet, salty and briny all in one bottle. The flavor of fish sauce comes from fermenting fish for anywhere from a couple months to a couple of years.

The sauce is normally associated with Asian cooking and it provides the driving flavor in dishes like pad thai. It is a useful sauce for marinades, stir-fries, and some salad dressings. Be careful with how much you add because a little can go a long way.

Fish Sauce Substitutes

If you do not have fish sauce in your cupboards, do not worry. There are several different options to use as as a substitutes:

1. Soy Sauce
2. Tamari
3. Oyster Sauce
4. Seaweed
5. Mushroom and Soy Sauce Broth

How to Thinly Slice Green Onions

This Nam Khao recipe calls for six thinly sliced green onions. To start off, make sure you have a sharp knife, as this will make the cutting much easier than trying to use a dull knife.

1. -First, remove any dirt from the onion. After it is cleaned off, then place it on a cutting board. Starting with the white bulb, you want to cut off the root end.
2. -Then, inspect the outer layer of the onion to see if it is nice, or if it’s damaged. If you find it to be  damaged then proceed to  remove the outer layer.
3. -Cut off the ends of the green part since they are often tough.
4. -Separate the green tops from the white bulb.
5. -Slice the white bulb lengthwise while holding it  together.
6. -Turn it, and then chop by cutting across all the slices.
7. -Grab the green tops and slice thin.
8. -Repeat until done!
