4-6 cooked spring rolls6 pack

3 tbsp minced shallots300g

1.5 tbsp minced garlic1 bulb

50g sugar1kg

1 tbsp fish sauce200ml

1/2 tbsp coarse black pepper50g

3 tbsp olive oil500ml

1 cucumber, sliced1

handful of fresh mint leaves25g

50g crushed peanuts200g

Method

Slice the uncooked pork thinly, about ⅛". It helps to slightly freeze it (optional).
Mince garlic and shallots. Mix in a bowl with sugar, fish sauce, thick soy sauce, pepper, and oil until sugar dissolves.
Marinate the meat for 1 hour, or overnight for better results.
Bake the pork at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until about 80% cooked. Finish cooking by broiling in the oven until a nice golden brown color develops, flipping the pieces midway.
Assemble your bowl with veggies, noodles, and garnish. Many like to mix the whole bowl up and pour the fish sauce on top, but I like to make individual bites and sauce it slowly.
