Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 shallot, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 dried chile (such as chile de árbol)
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Pinch of sugar
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar
Kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook shallot, garlic, and chile, stirring often, until shallot is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until moisture in skillet is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add broth, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated, 12–18 minutes.

    Step 2

    Remove skillet from heat and mix vinegar into pork mixture; taste and season with salt if needed.
