- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil and then add shallot and garlic. Cook for about 4 minutes until the shallot has softened.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the pork and chili paste. Cook, stirring occasionally until the pork is almost cooked through.
- Add fish sauce and soy sauce and cook until the moisture in the skill is evaporated.
- Pour in the bone broth, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally until the liquid is evaporated, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the vinegar mixture. Taste and season with salt or more chili paste if needed.
- Remove meat from the warm skillet to allow the meat to cool slightly, and the flavors to come together.
- To serve, I like to set up different topping options for my guest to build their own. Start with a lettuce cup, fill with chile ground pork, top with cucumbers, scallions, peppers, fresh herbs and a bit of chili paste. Maybe a squeeze of lime juice.
