Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced finely
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 5 Thai chili deseeded and diced
- 1 tbsp lemongrass paste
- 1 lb ground pork
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
- 1½ tsp dark soy sauce optional
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 4 cups cooked rice to serve
Instructions
- To a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and the diced onion, minced garlic, diced red chili, and lemongrass paste. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the onions have softened.
- Add the ground pork and saute, breaking up the pork with a wooden spoon.
- When the pork is around 50% browned, add the brown sugar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and fish sauce to the skillet.
- Stir until combined. Then allow the liquid to cook down, stirring every minute or so.
- You can allow the liquid to cook all the way down or leave some behind so it’s a little saucy. I prefer to cook it all the way down.
- Once done to your liking, serve it over a bowl of rice.
