Method:

Combine all the poaching ingredients in a large pot and allow to simmer gently for 2-3 hours until the pork is soft but not falling apart.
Drain the pork and keep 2 cups of the broth.
Cut the pork into bite sized cubes.
In a wok, fry the pork in canola oil/ peanut oil for 5 minutes. Be careful of the pork popping and hissing at this stage.
Add the reserved broth and all the ‘caramel’ ingredients and allow to simmer for 10 mins until the sauce has thickened.
Season to taste.
Serve with jasmine rice, sugar snap peas and fresh coriander.
