One of our everyday dish. If you don't have a clay pot, use a normal saucepan, big enough to hold about 1 1/2 lbs. pork and some sauce. I prefer pork tender loin with a bit of fat, but many people like pork shoulder or pork chops. If you use pork chops, change to about 1 3/4 - 2 lbs.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup sugar
2 -3 cloves garlic, minced
2 whole shallots, chopped
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 -2 chili, chopped
2 tablespoons fish sauce (or change depending on your taste)
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cubed about 1 1/2 inch in size
1 pinch salt, to taste
1 pinch pepper
4 -6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled (optional)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Put oil in pot or pan over medium heat, add sugar and cook, stirring frequently till it dissolves.
  • Add ginger, garlic, shallots, chili, cook for about 4-5 minutes Turn up the heat to high, add pork, stir till the meat has browned a little, then add water.
  • When it comes to a boil, lower heat to simmer.
  • Cut hard boil eggs in half and put into pot.
  • This step is optional, but the eggs will absorb all the sauce and taste heavenly!
  • Cover the pot and let it simmer.
  • I find the longer you leave it, the better it taste.
  • But after 30-35 minutes it's done.
  • Serve with cooked white rice or basmati, and that's a meal there.
  • Normally we just steam cabbage or water spinach for vegetables.
