Vietnamese Pork and Five Spice

Vietnamese Pork and Five Spice

The entire house will be filled with a spicy aroma that will make your mouth water. I normally serve this over jasmine rice with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, along with a side dish of steamed kale and garlic or stir-fried green beans with garlic and mushrooms.

  • 4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Directions

Step 1
Season pork with salt and pepper.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook pork and garlic in hot oil until the pork is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

Step 3
Stir brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and five-spice powder with the pork. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender enough to easily pull apart with a fork, about 2 hours.
