Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Marinate 1 lb pork shoulder with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp white pepper for 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: Place marinated pork on a roasting pan and roast for 45-50 minutes until the edges caramelize and meat is tender. Let rest 10 minutes, then thinly slice.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, prepare the sweet gravy by whisking together 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tbsp palm sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
4. Step 4: Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water to make a slurry. Slowly whisk slurry into simmering gravy, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Step 5: To serve, place 2 cups cooked jasmine rice on each plate, top with sliced roasted pork, halved boiled eggs, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, 2 sliced scallions, and 1/2 thinly sliced cucumber. Drizzle with warm sweet gravy.
