Ingredients

1½ tablespoons cooking oil (peanut oil preferred)
½ onion, finely diced (~½ cup)
2 teaspoons ginger, grated or minced
2 garlic cloves, minced (2 teaspoons paste)
1 bird’s eye or Thai chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
500g pork mince
5 tablespoons tightly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 green onion stem, finely sliced, to serve
Jasmine rice, to serve
Sliced red chilli, tomato, cucumber, to serve (optional)

Directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.

Add the onion, ginger, garlic and chilli and cook for 2 minutes.

Add the pork mince and cook for 2 minutes 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 juices cook out and pork caramelises — about 2 minutes. Stir and leave again for 30 seconds. Repeat twice more until caramelised to taste.

Serve over jasmine rice, garnished with sliced green onion and optional cucumber and carrots on the side.
