These are sweet little pork bites made with pork rashers cut ito strips and simmered into a sweet sauce. They are great as a starter with sticky rice and pak choi with soy sauce. You could also serve them with the Thai corn fritters. Try these they are really worth it. (4 people)
What you need
3-400g pork rashers
100g browm sugar
2 teaspoons salt
300ml Water
100ml dark soy sauce
The process
Cut the pork rashers into strips abut 1cm wide across the skin (you can remove the skin if you prefer but I quite enjoy the little chewy piece at the end)
In a hot pan with a little oil quick fry the pork strips until there are signs of caremalization, remove and drain on paper towel.
Wipe the pan clean and reduce heat to medium.
Ad the water, sugar, salt and soy sauce and heat until all of the sugar is dissolved and there aresmall bubbles in the sauce.
Add the pork pieces, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce has reduced and is thick and sweet.
Done and seriously tasty
Hi Graham could I replace the rashers with pork fillet without spoiling the taste
Hi Belinda, the fat in pork rashers is is what I like but go ahead, use a fillet, it will not change the flavour. Happy days G
This has fast become a great favorite with my husband. For a variation and to make it a little bit spicy I sometimes add a little Tom Yum paste.
Fantastic Ann, it’s one of mine as well. Cheers for now
