VIETNAMESE CARAMELISED PORK BOWLS



Vietnamese Caramelised Pork Bowls image

Recipe video above. An exciting way to use ground meat (mince) to make a quick stir fry that taste unbelievable! This is great made with chicken, turkey or pork. It also works with beef though it is better made with "white meats". Serve it over rice or vermicelli noodles to make rice bowls with shredded lettuce, carrots and cucumbers on the side (very classic Vietnamese meal!).

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tbsp cooking oil ((I use peanut oil))
1/2 onion (, finely diced (brown, white or yellow) (~1/2 cup))
2 tsp ginger (, grated or minced)
2 garlic cloves (, minced (2 tsp paste))
1 birds eye or Thai chili (, deseeded and finely chopped (Note 1))
1 lb / 500g ground pork ((mince) (Note 2))
5 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 green onion (stem , finely sliced)
Rice
Sliced red chilli, tomato, cucumber ((optional))

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Add the onion, ginger, garlic and chili and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the pork mince and cook for 2 minutes or so until white all over, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the sugar and fish sauce. Stir, then leave it to cook without touching until all the juices cook out and the pork starts caramelised - about 2 minutes. Then stir it and leave it again, without stirring, for around 30 seconds to get more caramelisation. Repeat twice more until caramelised to your taste.
  • Serve over rice or vermicelli noodles, garnished with sliced scallions/shallots. For a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice! I like to have chunks of plain cucumber and carrots on the side which is a classic way of making Vietnamese bowls.

Tips:

  • Opt for a fattier ground pork. It will provide more flavor and juiciness to your dish.
  • Use a variety of aromatics. Garlic, ginger, scallions, and lemongrass are all great options. You can also add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the pork. It is a very thin meat and can easily become dry and tough. Cook it just until it is no longer pink in the center.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. A simple soy sauce and rice vinegar mixture works well. You can also add other ingredients like honey, sesame oil, or chili sauce.
  • Serve with rice or noodles. Asian ground pork is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Steamed rice, lo mein noodles, or rice vermicelli are all good options.

Conclusion:

Asian ground pork is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It can be customized to your liking by adding different vegetables, sauces, and sides. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give Asian ground pork a try.
