Material

• 500g pork belly
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 3 dried onions
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 6 lemongrass plants
• Cooking oil, pepper

Making

Step 1: Prepare ingredients

• Dried onions and garlic peeled, smashed, minced, put in a small bowl.
• Lemongrass root removed, washed then smashed and chopped.
• Soak the pork in salt water for about 10 minutes, rinse the meat once in water and drain. Then, cut the pork into thin slices or bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 cm thick).

Step 2: Marinate the meat

• Put the meat in a bowl, add garlic, dried onion, fish sauce, sugar and a little pepper.
• Mix the meat well and marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Roast the meat

• Heat a pan over medium heat, add cooking oil.
• Put all the lemongrass in the pan, stir until the lemongrass is slightly yellow and fragrant, then remove to a plate.
• In the same pan, add a little oil to heat. Then, add the marinated meat and stir until the meat is almost cooked.
• Continue to add the lemongrass back to the pan and cook with the meat for about 5 minutes (reduce the heat to avoid burning the lemongrass) or until the meat has absorbed the spices and the lemongrass turns golden brown.
• Add fish sauce and sugar to taste.
• Serve the dish on a plate and enjoy with hot rice.
