💰Cheaper: yogurt

pickled carrots

🥗Healthier: fresh carrots

💰Cheaper: raw carrots

Fresh carrots provide crunch without the added sugar from pickling.

Pickle the carrots and daikon by mixing them with salt, water, vinegar, sugar, and additional salt. Let them sit to marinate.

Prepare the pork by marinating it with garlic, shallot, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, vegetable oil, oyster sauce, sugar, black pepper, and optional lemongrass.

Grill the marinated pork until cooked through and slightly charred.
