INSTRUCTIONS
Pork prepared in this manner is recommended by Buddhist healers for persons
who are watching their diet (tha-moat-htan).
1. Cook the pork in the water in a covered pan over moderate heat for
about 45 minutes, until the liquid has nearly evaporated.
2. Add the sugar, tamarind liquid, salt, and fish sauce. Cook over low
heat until almost all the liquid has evaporated and just enough sauce
remains so that the pork is moist.
Serve warm with rice with other dishes.

A Message from our Provider:
“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
