This roughly minced and tender wild boar does taste wild, but in a good way. It's flavored with lots of lemongrass which is chopped fine so you can easily eat it. The red pepper is mild; the heat does build a little as you eat, but it's never too much. This seems to be a stir fried dish with red and green bell pepper and peanuts. It's garnished with delicate green leaves that taste like lemongrass, but they certainly don't look like lemongrass leaves. The dish showed up with an impressive toasted rice cracker with black sesame seeds in it. I was told to break some of the cracker off and spoon some meat onto it. The resulting morsels were delicious. The meat appeared to have been flavored with some soy sauce and maybe some turmeric (there was a definite yellow color). Even though this was a lemongrass forward dish, I could still enjoy the taste of the wild boar.
