Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.

Add the onion, ginger, garlic, and chili, and cook for 2 minutes.

Add the sugar and sauces. Stir, then leave to cook without touching until juices cook out and pork begins to caramelize for 2-4 minutes. Then stir it and leave it again, without stirring for another minute or two to get more caramelization. Repeat once or twice to achieve the caramelization to your taste.
