Directions

  1. Season pork with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, cook pork and garlic in hot oil until the pork is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

  3. Stir brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and five-spice powder with the pork. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender enough to easily pull apart with a fork, about 2 hours.

Recipe Note

The entire house will be filled with a spicy aroma that will make your mouth water. I normally serve this over jasmine rice with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, along with a side dish of steamed kale and garlic or stir-fried green beans with garlic and mushrooms.
