CARAMELIZED PORK BELLY⤵️

MARINADE
1.5 lbs - 2lb of thinly sliced pork (i used pork shoulder but pork belly works too)
1/2 onion and shallot, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 TBSP sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 TBSP fish sauce

CARAMELIZING
1 TBSP oil
2.5 TBSP sugar

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
6 oz coconut soda, water or chicken broth
1.5 TBSP fish sauce
1 tsp black pepper

1. Thinly pork then marinate with all the ingredients listed under “MARINADE” (marinate 10 minutes)

2. In a pot, add 1 TBSP of oil and 2.5 TBSP of sugar (“CARAMELIZING”) and bring it to an amber color— this process takes a while so be patient. Then add your pork belly and cook until most of the pink is gone.

3. Once most of the pink is gone, all of your ingredients listed under “ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS.” Bring this to a boil.

4. Once its boiling, reduce your heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Don’t forget to skim out an impurities as its simmering.

5. Once its done cooking, you can enjoy it like this (which is how my son likes it) or you can scoop out most of the liquid and stir fry for 5 minutes or until it gets caramelized to your preference.
NOTE: At this point, you an also adjust the flavor to your preference.
