Ingredients
- 60 g Rice, white, long-grain

Method
- Cook the rice, then rinse well under cold water until the surface starch is gone and the grains separate.
- Chill the rinsed rice, and just before serving, soak it in the ice-cold water, traditionally scented with jasmine flowers, so each spoonful is chilled.
- Cook the pork with the brown sugar until dry and sweet, to make a shredded pork topping.
- Finely chop the shrimp, mix with a little of the fish sauce and the sugar, and stuff into hollowed shallots; steam 5 minutes until the shallots are just tender.
- Serve the iced rice in a bowl with the sweet pork, stuffed shallots and sliced cucumber arranged alongside.
