Add shallots, chilies, dried shrimp or shrimp paste and lemon grass and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add the pork and stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until browned.
Add tomatoes, stock or water, fish sauce and sugar and increase the heat to high.
Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the mixture boils vigorously.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Serve with sticky rice.
