[GayChristopher1972]

I just bought some fish sauce because i remembered how good it was in Pad Thai when I wasnt doing atkins...I just wondered if anyone knew of any recipes that were induction friendly that uses fish sauce.

Thanks!

What type of fish sauce did you buy? There is a huge variation out there. The 'Ka-Me' brand often carried grocery stores is full of sugars, and tastes pretty yucky. if you picked up a nice authentic Thai Fish Sauce though, it is basically a pure anchovy paste in liquid suspension, and that can be used instead of salt in many Asian dishes for a great flavor kick.

I love fish sauce

I posted a great recipe for claypot pork that is induction friendly ...it uses Vietnamese fish sauce that is nothing but anchovies....good fish sauce has nothing added but the fish!...I add it to Pho' when I go out ..it is a wonderful condiment if you get a good sauce the brand I love is Phu Quoc from an Island in Vietnam it is famous and I find it so good I use it on a lot of dishes...here is a repeat of the recipe.....you can make this in any pot that has a tight lid and can go in the oven

this is very good very authentic (accept the splenda the recipe called for sugar...I changed it to splenda for you ...but for me left it out as I do not like the flavor of it

1/8 cup splenda (optional...I left it out)
1 tsp liquid browning like maggi or kichen bouquet (sp)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 whole shallots, chopped
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1-2 chili, chopped
2 tablespoons fish sauce (or change depending on your taste)
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cubed about 1 1/2 inch in size
1 pinch salt, to taste
1 pinch pepper
4-6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled (optional)
1/2 cup water

4-6 servings Change size or US/metric | 55 minutes 10 mins prep

Change to: servings US Metric
1. Put oil in pot or pan over medium heat,
2. Add ginger, garlic, shallots, chili, cook for about 4-5 minutes Turn up the heat to high, add pork, stir till the meat has browned a little, then add water.
3. When it comes to a boil, add browning ..splenda and lower heat to simmer.
4. add whole hard boiled eggs
5. This step is optional, but the eggs will absorb all the sauce and taste heavenly!
6. Cover the pot and let it simmer.
7. I find the longer you leave it, the better it taste.
8. But after 30-35 minutes it's done.
9. You can serve this with Brown rice for those who are at the level they can have it ...or better yet some grated steamed cabbage is really good with it!...
