Carmelized Pork Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 lbs: Fresh pork leg, ham
1 tbsp: Cooking oil,
1 tsp: Salt,
2 each: Green onions,
1 dash: Pepper,
1 tbsp: Fish sauce,
Directions:
Cut the fresh ham into several chunks about 1 1/2 to 2 inches square.
Chop the green onion fine. Heat the oil in 2 quart pot, then add the
onion and the remaining ingredients, including the pork. Saute,
stirring, on medium heat until the meat is brown (about 5 minutes or
more). Add 4 cups water and simmer, uncovered, on medium heat for one
hour. Add the fish sauce and continue to simmer on medium heat 1 more
hour. Most of the water will be absorbed by the meat and the
remainder will be slightly thick--or carmelized. Be careful not to
burn it. Serve hot as a main dish, with lots of rice. This has a
very long life--it may be frozen, refrigerated, reheated, and served
as an appetizer, etc. Note: This takes a long time to cook, but is
very easy to do. In Hue, central Vietnam, pork belly is used in this
recipe. Bellyis very fat and is considered good in a cooler climate.
Dont discard the fat portions before tasting--it is surprisingly
good and surprisingly digestible. Recipe from: Vietnamese Cookery, by
