Braised Salted Fish with Roasted Pork

This is a typical dish served in a claypot from the Chu Char stall using pork belly which I have simplified using roasted pork belly [siew yoke].

Some readers could have tried making the Siew Yoke [see this post] and may have some leftovers.  So this dish is suitable for you to enjoy the siew yoke in another way.

Verdict - tasty siew yoke and fragrant salted fish blends very well. After braising with the fragrant sauce, the meat and salted fish are tasty and delicious with steaming hot rice.  Notice the pieces of salted fish. These are so tasty with the siew yoke.
