- Blanch the florets of broccoli in boiling water for one minute.
- Drain and set aside.
- Chop the green onions, removing the darkest green leaves as you go.
- Peel the garlic and chop it finely, then seed and chop the chiles.
- Get the oil really hot in a shallow pan or wok, then cook the onions, garlic, and chiles until soft but not colored, moving them quickly round the pan as you go.
- It will appear there is too much oil, but bear with me.
- Add the ground lamb and let it color appetizingly.
- It should go a rich golden color.
- Add the drained broccoli.
- In a small bowl, mix the juice of the lime with the nam pla and sugar.
- Add to the hot pan and let sizzle briefly, scraping at the gooey stickings on the bottom of the pan and stirring them in as you go.
- Check the seasoningyou may need a little saltand stir in the cilantro.
