Directions:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.

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

Add the pork and cook for 3 minutes or so until white all over, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.

Add the sugar and fish sauce. Stir, then leave it to cook without touching until all the juices cookout and the pork starts to caramelize - about 2 minutes. Then stir it and leave it again, without stirring, for around 30 seconds to get more caramelization. Repeat twice more until caramelized to your taste.

Serve over rice garnished with sliced scallions/shallots.

A side note, place this in a leaf of Iceberg lettuce for a phenomenal lettuce wrap or serve with a side of rice for an authentic taste of Asia! It is Delicious!
