Dry-Cooked Pork Strips Recipe

Dry-Cooked Pork Strips Recipe

(Vietnamese Recipe)

Ingredients:  Serves 6-8

750 g (1½ lb) lean pork chops

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon sugar

3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

 

Method:

Remove skin and bones from pork chops and cut meat into thin strips.  Put into a small, deep saucepan (a large saucepan will not do for this dish, as the little liquid there is must suffice for cooking the pork and not be allowed to evaporate over a large surface area) and add all other ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat.  Stir, cook for 2 minutes on high heat, then reduce to medium heat and boil for 20 minutes or until liquid is completely absorbed.  Stir towards end of cooking time so that meat does not burn.  It will turn brown.  Serve with steamed white rice and a green vegetable or salad.
