Sweet Pork & Eggs {Viet Style}
Mama’s cooking is always the best. For years and years I’ve strived to learn even 1/4 of what my mom makes. Let me tell you, that is some hard work. That woman can cook! Anyways here’s a recipe I learned from her, although my version probably does not do it justice! I ended up making this splur of the moment. I bought a 8pound bag of pork shoulder for pulled pork. Definitely ended up with way too much pork so I split and used some for this dish.To start off here’s the ingredients you need; pork (for this one I used pork shoulder), eggs, salt, pepper, garlic, fish sauce, sweet soy, and coconut soda.
To start off I boil the eggs to make hard boiled eggs before I start preparing the pork. While the eggs are boiling, I cut the pork into 1-2 inch cubes. Once the meat is ready, you can sauté it with some garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Once its seared on both sides, I added in a couple tablespoons of sweet soy sauce. Looks a little like this;
Then onces it’s pretty browned I add in the coconut soda. Now when you first add it it bubbles up. I tend to turn down the heat to low so that it can simmer for awhile. By this time, the eggs should be ready. Add in the eggs without the shells (of course;) and let it simmer for about an hour. You can taste it throughout and add in more salt and pepper if needed. Sometimes I even add it more sweet soy if its too salty for my taste. It’s basically up to your preference. This dish is served over rice and soo delish!
