Asian Meats Recipes - Burma Golden Pork Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 onions, finely chopped

• 12 garlic cloves, crushed

---

Method:

1. Put the onions, garlic and ginger into a blender and blend to a paste. Put the paste into a strainer or cheesecloth and squeeze gently over a bowl to extract as much juice as possible.

2. Put the liquid into a large saucepan with the pork, salt, vinegar, oil and chili powder and bring to the boil.

3. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer the pork for 2 hours, or until it is very tender. (You may have to add a tablespoon or two of water during the cooking period if the mixture becomes too dry.)

4. The dish should be 'golden' at the end of cooking, as the translation of its name suggests.
