Lemongrass sausage

• 1½ lb. ground pork
• 1 T. minced garlic
• 1/3c. minced shallot
• 1/3c. minced lemongrass
• 1 T. light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4c. fish sauce
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 c. fine fresh breadcrumbs

Mix all ingredients. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Form into square patties about an inch thick, and grill or sauté over medium heat until cooked through.  Chilling thoroughly before slicing makes it easier to slice the patties into quarter-inch strips.
