- Put the garlic in a bowl with the sugar, fish sauce, lime juice rice wine. Stir to combine.
- Cut the pork neck into large chunks and put in a plastic bag or bowl. Cover with the marinade, toss to coat, then tie (or cover) and leave for 45 minutes – or overnight in the fridge.
- Peel the into ribbons. Gently heat 150ml water, the vinegar and sugar with the star anise until the sugar dissolves. Put the carrots in a bowl and pour over the pickling liquid. Cover and chill.

Brush the pork with a little groundnut or vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Get the griddle smoking hot and don’t overcrowd the pan.
