Ingredients

350 g Pork Shoulder 12oz
100 g Pork Liver 3½oz
4-6 Small Hot Dog Sausages 100g
1 Large Red Onion 200g
1 Medium Carrot 150g
2 Medium Potatoes 350g
4 Garlic Cloves
2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
3 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Fish Sauce
200 g Passata ¾ Cup
375 ml Water 1½ Cups
35 g Raisins ⅓ Cup
1 Bay Leaf

Instructions

Cut the pork into 15-20mm (½-¾") cubes.
Cut the liver into 10-12mm (½") cubes.
Chop the hot dog sausages into 20mm (¾") lengths.
Heat a 24cm or 10" saucepan over a medium-high heat, and when it is hot, add the cooking oil followed by the pork.
Brown well, stirring occasionally. This should take between 7 and 10 minutes
Whilst the pork is cooking, prepare the vegetables.
Peel the red onion, then cut it into a 15-20mm (½-¾") dice.
Cut the carrot into 10-12mm (½") long rounds.
Peel the potato and cut it into a 20mm (¾") dice.
Bash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife, peel off the paper-like skin and chop the cloves as finely as you can.
By now, the pork should be browned.
Toss in the chopped liver, hot dog sausages and garlic, then stir for 2 minutes.
Add the potatoes, carrots and red onions, and give the pot a stir.
Pour in the soy sauce, fish sauce, passata and just enough water to cover the stew, this should be around 375ml (1½ Cups). Add the raisins and the bay leaf, stir to combine.
Add a lid and reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 45 minutes.
I like to remove the lid and reduce the sauce over a medium heat for 10 minutes before serving. This step is optional.
