Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Do not stir the sugar while it is melting; let it caramelize undisturbed.
- • Add garlic only after the sugar has turned amber to avoid burning.
- • Allow the pork’s released water to evaporate fully before finishing – this creates the glossy caramel coating.
Safety Warnings
- • Caramelized sugar reaches very high temperatures; avoid skin contact to prevent burns.
- • Use a long‑handled spatula to keep hands away from the hot pan.
