Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
2 -3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 whole shallots, chopped
-
1 tablespoon minced ginger
-
1 -2 chili, chopped
-
2 tablespoons fish sauce (or change depending on your taste)
-
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cubed about 1 1/2 inch in size
-
1 pinch salt, to taste
-
1 pinch pepper
-
4 -6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
-
1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Put oil in pot or pan over medium heat, add sugar and cook, stirring frequently till it dissolves.
- Add ginger, garlic, shallots, chili, cook for about 4-5 minutes Turn up the heat to high, add pork, stir till the meat has browned a little, then add water.
- When it comes to a boil, lower heat to simmer.
- Cut hard boil eggs in half and put into pot.
- This step is optional, but the eggs will absorb all the sauce and taste heavenly!
- Cover the pot and let it simmer.
- I find the longer you leave it, the better it taste.
- But after 30-35 minutes it's done.
- Serve with cooked white rice or basmati, and that's a meal there.
- Normally we just steam cabbage or water spinach for vegetables.
