• 1/4 cup thinly sliced spring onion greens (from 3 to 4 spring onions)

• 1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, lower 6 inches of tender bulb, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger

• 1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce (such as nuoc mam or nam pla)

• 1 1/2 cucharaditas de azúcar

• 1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra recién molida

• 3/4 cucharaditas de sal kosher

• 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar, plus more to taste

• 1 tablespoon sugar, plus more to taste

• 60ml de agua

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fish sauce

• Pinch of crushed red pepper

• 12 lettuce leaves, such as Boston lettuce or iceberg

In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together all of the ingredients, then form the mixture into twelve 2-inch patties (about 3/4 inch thick). Arrange the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar with the sugar and water. Add the fish sauce, then taste and season with more vinegar or sugar, depending on your taste.
