Steps:
- Put the sugar in a medium-size heavy-bottomed pot and cook over medium heat, shaking gently every once in a while, until it starts to melt. Start stirring with a fork and continue, crushing clumps of sugar so that the sugar melts evenly. When the sugar is liquid, continue to cook for another minute or so until it darkens, then remove from heat.
- Combine the chicken stock and fish sauce and carefully add at arm's length to the sugar (it will splutter and pop). Turn heat to medium high, return sugar mixture to the heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until well combined. (If the sugar clumps when you add the liquid, don't worry, it will melt again.)
- Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, pepper, chili if using, and the white portion of the scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are nicely softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add pork to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, partly cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of stock or water if the pan looks too dry, until the pork is very tender and the liquid has reduced to a medium-thick sauce, about 1 hour.
- Remove from heat, add the green part of the scallions, and serve over steamed white rice.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and the pork turned out dry and overcooked. The vegetables were also mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]This clay pot pork recipe was a hit at our dinner party! The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. The sauce was also delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. I would definitely make this dis
