Tip: The secret is in the
sauce for this dish; the
fish sauce, lemon juice
and sugar are all you need.
You don't even need any oil.
Also, you can substitute any
meat or seafood for the pork;
just make sure you cook it in
boiling water first and store
it in the fridge until you are
ready to serve. Lemon Pork
is especially savory during
the summer months, as it
is both light and refreshing.
