Sweet Caramelized Pork with Rice
Ingredients
2 lb pork butt or boneless ribs
1/2 onion
3 tbsp brown sugar
1-2 cups water UPDATE: start with 1 cup and than add more if needed
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tspn olive oil
cooked white rice
green onions for garnish
A perfect balance of salt from soy sauce and brown sugar gives this dish an incredible taste!
And when you simmer it for a while, it gives it that caramel effect, so beloved by everyone. Add some simple white rice and the dish is complete.
Instructions
Chop the onion and cut pork in small pieces. Heat olive oil in a large WIDE skillet and cook onions and pork for about 5 minutes until the meat is well browned.
To the same skillet add water, soy sauce, sugar and fish sauce, bring to a light boil and simmer for the next 30 minutes to 1 hour ( or until almost all the water will become a thick, brown caramel like sauce).
Stir it and serve your caramel pork over rice with some green onions for garnish.
