Vietnamese Caramel Pork (Thit Kho)

The recipe

Instructions

1. 1
   Hard-boil the eggs for 8 minutes, cool and peel. Cut the pork belly into 4cm cubes.
2. 2
   In a heavy pan, melt the sugar over medium heat without stirring until it turns deep amber — about 4 minutes.
3. 3
   Carefully add the pork (it will spit), turn to coat in caramel. Add chopped onion, garlic and chilli. Cook 3 minutes.
4. 4
   Pour in fish sauce, soy and coconut water. Add the peeled eggs. Cover and simmer on low for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. 5
   Remove the lid for the final 10 minutes to reduce the sauce to a glossy coating. Top with spring onion. Serve over rice.
