- Step 1
Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt and chilies in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.
- Step 2
Use a peeler to scrape the carrot into 2-inch thin strips. Cut the strips lengthwise to make a fine julienne. Place the carrots in a bowl with the cucumber, jicama, sprouts, lemon grass, cilantro and half of the mint. Toss and set aside.
- Step 3
Heat a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb, cook until medium-rare, 30 seconds per side. Cut across grain into thin slices. Season with salt.
- Step 4
Pour the dressing over the salad and use your hand to squeeze the dressing into the salad. Mix in the nam pla. Divide among 2 or 4 plates, creating a tall mound. Top with the remaining mint. Drape the lamb over the salad and serve.
