I'm on the hunt for the most authentic mee pok sauce. This is experiment No. 1:
3 Tablespoons Pork Lard Oil
3 Tablespoons Roast Char Siew Sauce
1 Teaspoon Black Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Fish Sauce
2 Tablespoons light Soy Sauce
I went to Ranch 99 on Saturday and casually asked the butcher for pork fat. He gave me 5 pieces for 16 cents! So, I cut 1 slice to small bits and fry it until the oil is rendered and the bits are crispy.
Verdict: This sauce is more wanton mee than mee pok. It's on the sweeter side. I'm looking for something more spicy and tangy.
The search continues.

maybe some tomato ketchup, and dark soy sauce and more black vinegar ?
More spice, it has to be that chili condiment!
I think skip the char siew sauce and add sambal chili and shallot oil.
