Place a non-stick pan over high heat. When it's hot, add in the pork mince and ¼ cup of water. Break up the mince as it cooks. When all the pork has turned opaque, turn the heat off. Add the shallots and a couple of tablespoons of the dressing and toss. Add most of the coriander, spring onion, mint leaves (save a little for garnishing at the end) and the remaining dressing and toss until well combined. Adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce/chilli powder or lime juice to taste.
