Yields4 Servings
Ingredients
 800 Pork loin roast
 10 Soy sauce (or flavor seasoning)
 5 cloves Garlic
 100 Powdered sugar
 1 Oil
 1 Butter
 1 Pineapple pieces
 3 cups Thai rice
Directions
1

Cut the roast into small cubes of 1.5 cm on each side, leaving as little fat as possible. Place the meat cubes in a mixing bowl. Peel and remove the germ from the garlic cloves, crush them, and add to the meat. Generously drizzle with soy sauce and mix well. Reserve in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (the longer, the better! But do not exceed 5 hours).

2

In a saucepan (with a lid), heat a splash of oil and add the rice dry, stirring until it becomes translucent. Cover with water and let it cook down completely with the lid on. Taste the rice: if it is tender but there is still a bit of liquid, let it dry on very low heat. If it is not cooked enough, add a little water and continue cooking. Ideally, with caramel pork, the rice should be slightly sticky but not gluey.

3

Heat the oil and butter in a wok (or a skillet if unavailable) and add the marinated pork cubes to the skillet without the soy sauce or garlic cloves. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat to render the meat. Then add the pineapple pieces and the powdered sugar, allowing them to caramelize; the caramel should coat the meat cubes and the pineapple pieces should become candy-like.

4

To finish, arrange the rice in a crown shape in a deep dish and place the caramel pork in the center. If there is a bit of sauce left in the wok, serve it in a small ramekin on the side for those who would like a little more soy caramel. Serve immediately. This dish reheats very well!

    For the rice, it is translucent at first, but then becomes white; that's when it's time to add water/broth. I have been practicing this cooking method for over 40 years.

    Too sweet with 100g of sugar, I recommend 50g at most. I also deglazed with balsamic vinegar, which works well in the recipe. Otherwise, it's a very good recipe.
