Vietnamese Pork Recipe
Report
This Vietnamese Pork is a quick favorite in my kitchen. The blend of sugar and peppercorns makes for a delightful, sweet, and peppery dish in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops cut into half-inch chunks
- 6 tablespoons fish sauce
- 4 Tbsp. water
- 4 Tbsp. white sugar
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. whole peppercorns
- 1 tsp. oil I used Lime-Riesling Grape seed Oil, but you could use just about anything!
Instructions
- In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the pork chunks, fish sauce, water, white sugar, and brown sugar.
- Heat the pot over medium-high until the mixture reaches a boil.
- Reduce to a lively simmer and let cook for 7-9 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp. of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the peppercorns and sauté for 1-2 minutes until toasted. Be careful not to let them burn!
- Remove the peppercorns from the pan and grind with a mortar and pestle (or in an herb mill, or with a Ziplock and a hammer, or however you prefer to let out aggression).
- Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the pan and reserve any drippings left in the pot.
- Top the pork with the freshly ground peppercorns. Serve with rice and leafy greens. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and use the leftover drippings as a sauce for the rice.
Notes
- Store Vietnamese Pork in an airtight container in the fridge, and it’ll stay good for up to 3 days. To freeze, place it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
- When you’re ready to eat, thaw it overnight in the fridge if it’s frozen. Then, reheat it in a skillet over medium heat until it’s heated through, or microwave it in short intervals, stirring occasionally.
