Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 3 tbsp Dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Fish sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it's browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the dark soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce, rice vinegar, and water. Stir well to combine.
Pour the sauce mixture over the browned pork and stir to coat the meat evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the pork cook in the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
Add the crushed red pepper flakes and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with the chopped green onions and fresh cilantro (if using).
Serve warm as an appetizer or over steamed rice for a more filling meal.
