Categories: Pork, Vietnamese
Yield: 1 Batch
1 lb Boneless pork leg (500 g);
- sliced
1 c Water (250 ml)
Ground white pepper
MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
4 tb Fish sauce

Make the marinade first by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and
mixing well. Place the pork slices in the marinade, mix until well
coated and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour.
Bring the marinated pork slices and a little of the marinade to a
boil in a wok or skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered
until the sauce almost dries up, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the water,
increase the heat to medium and continue to simmer for 3 more
minutes, until the pork is cooked. Remove and transfer to a serving
bowl.
Sprinkle the braised pork with pepper and serve hot with fresh
vegetables and steamed rice.
