Sweet-Tart Pork Belly Stew

This satisfying cross between a soup and a stew is aromatic with lemongrass. Traditionally the broth gets a tart edge from whatever leaf or fruit or flavoring is available. In Shan State, that might be hibiscus flower buds or unripe tomatoes or lime juice. You can also use tamarind liquid.

Serve over rice or over noodles or pasta, with a vegetable side.
