    CARAMEL PORK RECIPE - THIT RAM | VIETNAMESE CUISINE

    Mar 31, 2019 · Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    This caramelized pork dish is perfect served over a snowy bowl of jasmine rice. The Stir-fry chunks of pork belly, chilli and green onions in the wok makes it very aromatic. For a lighter though no less delicious alternative, consider lean pork tenderloin instead. And also, keep a bottle of xo chilli sauce nearby. This Caramel Pork Recipe comes from Kim Thuy's newest cookbook, Secrets From My Vietnamese Kitchen.
