Ingredients

1 pound pork leg, fresh
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 each scallions, spring or green onions
1 dash black pepper
1 tablespoon fish sauce

Directions

Cut the fresh ham into several chunks about 1 1/2 to 2 inches square.

Chop the green onion fine. Heat the oil in 2 quart pot, then add the onion and the remaining ingredients, including the pork.

Saute, stirring, on medium heat until the meat is brown (about 5 minutes or more).

Add 4 cups water and simmer, uncovered, on medium heat for one hour.

Add the fish sauce and continue to simmer on medium heat 1 more hour.

Most of the water will be absorbed by the meat and the remainder will be slightly thick--or carmelized.

Be careful not to burn it.

Serve hot as a main dish, with lots of rice.

This has a very long life--it may be frozen, refrigerated, reheated, and served as an appetizer, etc.
