Roast the rice in a dry frying pan over a medium flame until it is a
pale gold color. Transfer it to a mortar and pound it to the
consistency of corn meal. Roast the dry chilies in the same way and
pound them in the mortar.
Bring the water to a boil and add the lemon grass and the beef,
stirring until the meat changes color. Drain the meat and place in a
serving dish with the rice, dried chilies, onions, fresh chilies,
green pepper, and the mint leaves (reserving some of the mint for
garnish). Sprinkle lemon juice all over and mix to blend well.
Finally add salt or nam pla to taste and garnish with the remaining
mint leaves. Serve with plain boiled rice.
