Ingredients

• Pork shoulder - 300 grams
• Chao (fermented tofu) - 100 grams

Steps

1. Cut the pork shoulder into thin slices, about 0.5 cm thick.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chao, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced shallots, black pepper, and vegetable oil to create the marinade.
3. Add the sliced pork to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
