Pork, ground coriander, ground pepper, fish sauce, light soya sauce, tapioca flour & lots of garlic.

Marinate with the above ingredients & deep fried in oil until they are golden / crispy & garnished with some fried garlic & some fresh chopped coriander before serving.

Grilled Pork with Tomato Rice

A simple dinner. Cooked rice cooker tomato rice & served with grilled pork chop.  Sprinkled with some fried garlic & served with Romanian lettuce. The fried garlic made the rice taste much tastier ( if you like fried garlic ;).

Grill pork chop was easily prepared with 2 seasonings, salt & pepper. Grilled at 300 degree C for 10mins or until you get a nice browning on the edges. May need a little longer depending on the thickness of the meat. Watch it closely as it can easily get burnt!!! 

Chin's note: 

1. Rice Cooker Tomato Rice

2. I did not seasoned the meat for long about 10mins. 

3. I usually prepared my fried garlic in batches & use them when needed.

Barbecue Pork or Char Siew

Barbecue pork, goes well with noodles or rice. I have been away for a while, can't wait to get into my kitchen to cook!

Barbecue pork recipe 

500g lean pork. 

2 tbsp oyster sauce 

3 tbsp shaoxing cooking wine 

3 tbsp sesame oil 

3 tbsp sugar 

1/2 tsp 5 spice power 

1 tsp white pepper 

1 tbsp oil 

2 clove of garlic crushed with skin on. 

Preparation method :

1. In a bowl, add in all the marinade & marinate the meat overnight. 

2. Heat up the wok with oil, add in the garlic, fry until fragrant.  Add in the meat & marinade.

3. Using medium-low heat , slowly cook the meat. Cover with a lid & flipped occationally to avoid over burning. But I like it with some burnts sections. 

4. After 20 - 25 minutes turned up the heat, to thicken the sauce. You'll noticed the oil & the marinade separated. Refer to picture. 

5. Turned off the heat, when meat is fully cooked. Dish out the BBQ pork & leave it to cool slightly. Slice the BBQ pork before serving. 

Voilà & bon appétit !! 

Chin's notes:

1. No added salt / light soya sauce  is added because I find that the oyster sauce is quite salty. 

2. Normally food colouring is added to give the meat the reddish touch. You can add some red colouring if you wish. :)
