Stir-Fried Shrimp and Pork Belly

The combination of shell-on shrimp and pork is quintessentially Vietnamese. This country-style stir-fry is a quick 30-minute meal that was a staple in the weekly dinner rotation for both my parents and Yen’s when they were short on time. The magic of the dish comes from the sweet-savory combination of fish sauce and sugar, layered with the richness of the rendered pork fat.
