Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown, stirring occasionally, until edges sear, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add garlic and onion. Stir until fragrant and onion softens, ~2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in shrimp paste, breaking it up with the spoon so it dissolves into the pork.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in vinegar and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until pork is fork-tender, ~10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and add fish sauce and salt to balance. The sauce should be savory, salty, and tangy.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot over white rice with a squeeze of fresh lime if you have it.
