  1. Place the pork in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 10 times. Transfer pork to a 12" nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring constantly and breaking up pork with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Set aside to let cool briefly.

  2. Meanwhile, put rice into a 6" cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling skillet constantly to prevent burning, until rice is the color of caramel and smoking, 3–5 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and pulse to a fine powder.

  3. In a bowl, mix together the pork and rice powder along with the scallions, cilantro, mint, lime juice, fish sauce, galangal, shallots, lime leaves, chiles, and lemongrass. Stir until well combined. Transfer salad to a platter and serve with the eggplants, cucumber, bitter melon, and cabbage, if you like.
