Vietnamese Ground Pork

1 lb ground pork
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 tsp msg
1 Tbsp sugar
garlic
sliced ginger

In a little bit of oil (since pork has its own fat) fry the garlic
slices until fragrant, then add the pork and stir until well cooked,
and dark, making sure to separate a finely as possible.  Add sugar,
and fry until browner in color.(always fry on med).  Add msg and
fish sauce and taste.  Add crushed pepper, or black pepper if
desired.  Put in the garlic slices, add 1/2 cup of water, and let
simmer until water is almost disappears.  Remove garlic and ginger,
and serve with rice.

(This recipe is very salty, because it was used in the olden days,
when meat was scarce, so more rice could be eaten to fill the
stomach).
