Vietnamese Caramelized Pork Vietnamese Caramelized Pork
This is my version of this family-friendly sweet-savory pork using widely accessible ingredients.It's traditionally made in a clay pot using pork belly, but I find a Dutch oven or other heavy pot and pork shoulder work just fine, specially if you find pork belly a little too fatty for your liking.Delicious with some steamed jasmine rice, in banh mi sandwiches, or made into my Vietnamese Street Tacos. (That recipe coming later. :) )If you want to save some time, you can just dump all the ingredients into your cooking vessel and skip to Step 4, but Steps 1 to 3 do add a deliciously layered depth to the dish.
