Directions
Vietnamese clay pot pork, One of our everyday dish. If you don’t have a clay pot, use a normal saucepan, big enough to hold about 1 1/2 lbs. pork and some sauce. I prefer pork tender loin with a bit of fat, but many people like pork shoulder or pork chops. If you use pork chops, change to about 1 3/4 – 2 lbs., Seriously delicious and easy meal. I too cut the sugar to 2 tablespoons. As the fish sauce wasnt mentioned in the method I added it with the water. Once I did that I put my clay pot in the oven on 175c for around an hour. The pork was so tender. Thanks very much for a beautiful dish, This was great as mostly followed. Cooked for an hour? Given that time, the tenderloin broke down just enough. Loved how the egg soaked up the sauce. I did shave off a 1/4 cup of Vietamese palm sugar cakes instead of using any kind of granulated sugar and definitely did not find the meal too sweet. Some additions I made post-cooking: topped with cilantro and mixed in the side of steamed cabbage. What I would change: maybe use pork shoulder or butt for more fat and a splash of vinegar. Overall good flavors, textures, smells. Not too heavy but comforting. Can’t go wrong with a one pot meal.
