Braised Pork with Young Coconut

After the Lunar New Year, I love using leftover fruits from the five-fruit tray, especially young coconuts. With some pork loin left in the fridge, braising it with tender young coconut makes a delicious dish—the coconut softens quickly and absorbs the flavors. This is also a great way to use up leftover ingredients after the holiday.

Steps
- 1
Cut the young coconut and pork loin into pieces. Marinate with 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 teaspoon seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or pho dipping sauce), 2 cloves garlic (crushed), and black pepper. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes. Heat a pot, sauté garlic, then add the pork and stir until the meat is browned.

Add the coconut water to the pot and simmer until the pork is tender. Then add the coconut pieces, bring to a boil, and adjust the seasoning to taste. Continue cooking until the sauce is reduced and just covers the meat, then turn off the heat.
