INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon thick soy sauce
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 ounces ginger, peeled and julienned
1 pound pork shoulder cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups simple pork stock
1 pound bamboo shoots, thinly sliced

1
Whisk together fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a
bowl until the sugar is dissolved completely. Add garlic, ginger,
and pork and mix to coat meat evenly. Allow to marinate,
refrigerated, turning the meat every hour, for 3 to 4 hours.
2
Put pork with marinade and pork stock in a clay pot,
or heavy-bottomed pot, and bring to a gently simmer over medium-low
heat. Cook, covered, for 1-1/2 hours. Add bamboo shoots and continue
to cook until meat is fork tender, about 1 hour more. Serve hot.
