Steps

60 minutes

1

Wash the pork and slice it into thin strips. Marinate with all the seasonings listed above and minced garlic. Let it sit for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2

Place the pork in a dry skillet over low heat and cook until the meat firms up. Pour in the coconut water, cover, and simmer until the sauce thickens.
3

Wash and finely chop the garlic chives. Heat cooking oil, add the chives, stir quickly, then remove from heat. Once the pork has cooled, slice it thinly.
4

Arrange the banh hoi on a plate, spread the garlic chives on top, and serve with the pork and fresh herbs. Use the pork braising sauce as a dipping sauce, or mix it with soy sauce, garlic, and chili.

Tip: If you want the pork to have a bright red color like at restaurants, you can add food coloring. Here, I did not use any coloring.
