Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
225 g boneless pork loin, thinly sliced
1 egg, hard boiled and halved (optional)
3 tablespoons muscovado sugar or 3 tablespoons soft brown sugar
4 tablespoons fish sauce

Steps:

  • Make the caramel by heating the sugar in a small, heavy-based pan over a low heat.
  • Stir constantly until it is moist and thick.
  • Take off the heat and add the fish sauce.
  • Return to a low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the shallots and pepper to the caramel and leave to cool.
  • Pour the sauce into a claypot or flameproof casserole.
  • Add the pork to the sauce.
  • Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • At the end of cooking, the pork should be in a little rich gravy.
  • Serve with the egg if using, spooning the gravy over them.
