Ingredients:
1.5 lbs pork belly
1-2 tbsp veggie oil
1 tbsp white or brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut juice
1 green onion for garnish
1 Thai chili (optional)
Marinade:
1 minced shallot
2 minced garlic cloves
1 chopped white part of a green onion
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fish sauce
Season to taste: I added about 1 tbsp of sugar. You can add more or less if needed
Instructions:
1. Slice pork belly into thin slices
2. Add pork belly and all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Mix and marinade for at least 20 minutes
3. On high heat, add 1-2 tbsp of veggie oil in a pan and add 1 tbsp of sugar. This is the caramelizing process.
4. Stir the sugar and watch it turn brown. Once it turns a nice golden brown, reduce heat down to low/medium low and add your pork. Make sure to monitor your sugar, don't let it turn black because that means it's burnt and will taste bitter.
5. Cook your pork ensuring it's coated evenly with the caramelized sugar
6. Bring heat back up to medium and add 1/2 cup of coconut juice and continue to cook until the water reduces and the sauce thickens.
7. Season to taste and add more sugar if necessary. I added 1 tbsp extra.
8. Garnish with black pepper and chopped green onions.
9. Add some Thai chilies if you want an extra spicy kick.
Serve with some rice, veggies or on the side of a veggie soup!
