Step by Step Method
Step 1
In bottom of sauce pot, dump the sugar. Place the pot over low heat. When the sugar melts and becomes amber-colored, add the water and fish sauce. (Don't worry if the sugar hardens upon contact with water; it will re-melt as it cooks, forming a sauce).
Step 2
Add the pork and stir until coated.
Step 3
Raise the heat to medium low. Add the salt.
Step 4
Simmer on medium-low heat for 25 minutes.
Step 5
Be sure to keep this at the lowest simmer possible for a more tender finished product.
Step 6
Stir in shallots and and cook until translucent, another 5 to 7 minutes. The sauce should now be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If that’s not the case, turn the heat up a little and simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce is further reduced.
