Rinse the pork with salt, cut into bite-sized pieces, and marinate with 1 tablespoon minced onion and garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. Sauté the remaining 1 tablespoon minced onion and garlic until fragrant, add the pork and stir until browned. Pour in coconut water and braise over low heat. Add more salt, sugar, fish sauce, and caramel sauce for color. Boil the eggs, peel them, and add to the pot with the pork. Continue braising until the sauce reduces, and the pork and eggs are evenly colored and flavorful. When serving, cut the pork and eggs into small pieces.

Serve Long Xuyen Broken Rice with either broken rice fish sauce or the braising sauce from the pork—both are delicious.
