Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks, about 2 inches each.

Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Let it simmer for an additional 15 minutes until the vegetables are nearly tender.
Stir in the green beans and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Add the Napa cabbage and fish sauce, cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until all vegetables are tender and the flavors are well integrated.
