VIETNAMESE CARAMELIZED SALTY PORK ( THIT KHO)
This dish is very fatty and a little salty, but is so delicious and easy to make. You just have to make sure that you have the ingredients ready to begin the cooking. Adding shrimp to this recipe makes an unbelievably tasty surprise. One of my all time favorites.

Steps:
- Wash and cut pork belly into 3/4 inch (cubed)pieces.
- In a dry saucepan, melt sugar on high heat until it becomes golden brown but not candied.
- Immediately, add pork belly pieces, onions, pepper, and garlic. Stir to get a golden color on the meat.
- Add fish sauce and water, deglaze, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to low heat, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes (stirring occasionally) until sauce thickens a little. Add a little more fish sauce and black pepper to taste.
- Serve over white rice.
- Note: Some vietnamese add whole hard boiled eggs (better if you fry the hard boiled eggs in a little oil until golden brown skin) along with the liquids. Adding shrimp is also delicious.
