Servings: 4

Ingredients

Pork shoulder
1 pound, thinly sliced
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Lemongrass
1 stalk, finely chopped
Fish sauce
3 tablespoons
Sugar
2 teaspoons
Black pepper
1 teaspoon
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1 medium, sliced
Green onions
3, chopped
Cooked rice
4 cups, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, finely chopped lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper to create a fragrant marinade.
  2. Add the sliced pork to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the marinated pork to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through.
  5. Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve the Cha Kdav Sach Chrouk over fluffy cooked rice, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
  7. Enjoy your delicious Cambodian meal!
