Description
This ground pork recipe starts by sautéing onions and garlic until softened, then cooking the pork until lightly browned. Fish sauce adds savory depth before fresh chopped tomatoes are mashed in, creating a thin, tangy sauce. Water is added and the mixture simmers to tenderize the meat.
Potatoes, carrots, and raisins are then added and cooked until the liquid reduces and the vegetables soften. Finally, bell peppers are stirred in to retain their tender-crisp texture. Seasoned with salt and pepper, the dish is served hot for a warming meal with balanced savory and subtle sweetness from the raisins.
The use of fresh tomatoes yields a lighter sauce; adding tomato paste can thicken and enrich the flavor if preferred. The combination of textures from tender meat, soft vegetables, and crisp peppers offers a pleasant contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 onion small, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 2 pounds ground pork
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 Roma tomato large, chopped
- 1 ½ cups water
- 2 potato medium, peeled and cubed
- 2 carrot large, peeled and cubed
- ½ green bell pepper seeded and cubed
- ½ red bell pepper seeded and cubed
- ½ cup raisins
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add ground pork and cook, breaking into pieces with the back of a spoon, until lightly browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Add fish sauce and continue to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of a spoon, until softened and release juices.
- Add water and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat, cover, and continue to simmer until meat is tender and fully cooked. Add more water in ½ cup increments as necessary to maintain 1 cup of liquid.
- Add potatoes, carrots, and raisins and cook until liquid is mostly reduced, vegetables are tender, and raisins are softened.
- Add bell peppers and cook until tender-crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- Using fresh tomatoes results in a thinner sauce; add a tablespoon of tomato paste for a thicker, richer sauce.
