Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork shoulder (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dark soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 2 stalks Spring onions (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 piece Red chili (sliced, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the pork pieces with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Mix well to coat the pork evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork pieces, reserving the marinade for later.
Sear the pork for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Add 1 cup of water and stir to combine.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the pork simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and forms a thick, glossy sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add a little more soy sauce or brown sugar if desired.
Once the pork is tender and the sauce has caramelized, remove the skillet from the heat.
Serve the Pork Teko Teko hot, garnished with chopped spring onions and sliced red chili (if using). Pair with steamed rice or your favorite sides.
