I used to make a version of these, which were famous at BBQ’s and everyone would be happy that my ‘bring a plate’ was Pork and Lime Patties. The recipe came from a cookbook I had (still have) called A Taste of Indochina by Jan Castorina. They were sticky, zesty, savoury mouth fulls, but delicate, …
