Pork Cooked with Sugar Recipe

Ingredients : Serves 6-8

1.25 kg Pork belly or loin 2 tablespoons Oil 3 Spring onions, finely chopped 2 teaspoons Sugar 1/2 teaspoon Salt 4 cups Water 2 tablespoons Fish sauce Good pinch ground black pepper

Method : Cut pork into large cubes. Do not discard the fat, for this is a delicious way of cooking it. Heat oil in a large saucepan and fry the spring onions gently until golden. Add pork and fry, stirring, until pork losses its pinkness. Add sugar, salt and pepper, and continue stirring until meat is browned. Add water and simmer without covering pan for 1 hour. Add fish sauce and continue to simmer until the pork is almost dry, taking care to stir frequently as liquid reduces or the pork may burn. Serve with plain white rice.
