- When the pot sizzles, lift out the pork and fry the garlic in the pork fat.
04
- When the garlic is fragrant, add the dried shrimp.
- Pour in the fish sauce mixture with 1 tablespoon of pepper.
- Add the minced chili.
05
- When the sauce has thickened, return the pork to the pot.
- Simmer for another 3 minutes, then turn off the heat, add the spring onions and enjoy.
