Ingredients : Serves 6 - 8

Preparation:

• Soak mushrooms in hot water for 40 minutes. Squeeze out liquid, remove stems, and chop the tops very finely. Place mushrooms and green onions (scallions) and pork in a bowl.

• Add Nuoc Cham (fish sauce), eggs, salt and pepper to taste and combine thoroughly.

• Grease a loaf pan, add meat mixture, patting down firmly. Cover with foil, sealing well.

• In a larger roasting pan, pour hot water to half way up the loaf pan and place in moderately hot oven 400^oF/200^oC for about 60 minutes or until done. Test with knife or skewer which should come out cleanly from the center.

• Allow the loaf to cool a little, run knife around the pan sides then unmold.

• Slice and garnish with coriander (cilantro) leaves.
