I make - Opium Pork

No joke. This highly addictive pork is probably the best I've ever made. It's Vietnamese inspired but tailored to our taste. Simple marinade, great for grilling on the fire or on the gas hob. I dare you not to devour the whole plate in one sitting!

Opium Pork/Vietnamese-Inspired Grilled Pork Strips

450~500 g pork shoulder, cut into finger size strips
2 tbsps brown sugar
2 tbsps fish sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2~4 tbsps water (so long there is enough liquid to coat the pork)
1 garlic clove, grated

1 tsp onion powder (or 2 tbsps fresh minced shallots/onion)
1/2 tsp ground white pepper

Optional flavoring: 1 lemongrass (grated)

cornstarch to coat the pork before frying on the gas hob

Combine everything except cornstarch and let pork marinade for a few hours (overnight better). 

If you want to cook the pork on the barbecue grill, skip the cornstarch coating. If you cook the pork on the stove top, coat the pork strips with cornstarch. This prevents oil spitting and gives a nice and light crust.

For stove top cooking, heat a few tablespoons of oil in a frying pan for a couple of minutes. Grill pork strips until golden brown. Serve with lime wedges if desired.
