5th June 2010 - Hoi An - Vietnam - Recipe 2

Sam and I had a mini cooking course yesterday with a Vietnamese family and we learnt how to make 3 dishes! i thought i'd share the recipes on here for 2 reasons. 1 - im bound to lose the piece of paper i wrote them on before i get home and 2 - you might fancy making one of them!

2. Pork and Cabbage Soup (makes one large cereal typle bowl)

250g Pork diced.
200g Cabbage roughly chopped to your liking.
1 bowl of water (not quite full as this is the bowl you serve in and need to leave room for the pork and cabbage)
1 teaspoon chopped garlic (the garlic they used seemed to be marinated so may be best to buy the jarred one)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Mix all the seasoning to the diced pork and stir well.

Get a heavy bottomed deep pan very hot. then add 3 tablesoons vegetable oil and allow to heat. Add another tablespoon of chopped garlic to the oil and cook until garlic browns. (30 secs roughly)

Add the pork mix and fry for 90 seconds until meat has browned.

Add the bowl of water and bring to the boil.

Add the cabbage and bring back to the boil.

Simmer for around 5 - 6 minutes.

Serve
