This recipe is from My White Kitchen and I must say that the portion is quite big. Anyway, I followed to the T, all of it cos’ I intend to share some with my SIL who does not cook at all. Giving her this dish would be good cos’ it is easy to serve. Just cook or steam some rice, heat up the braised meat and serve with some cucumbers would sufficed for a meal.
The minced meat is full of flavours, aromatic and tasty. The eggs and firm beancurd also tasted good with some flavours infused in them. If you notice from the recipe, even though chai por is used it is not salty and no sugar is added.
Serving this dish with rice, some pickled mustard leaves or cucumbers is just perfect for an easy meal. This dish can be cooked and stored, tastes much better after resting too.

Wah....Kimmy, I know I will love this minced pork because I can tell that it is very tasty. Pairs so well with the beancurd and eggs. Two plates of rice please!
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, I had to prepare this at home cos' I can't stand the portion serve at the outlets. It is so small, not enough to whet ones appetite. Home-cooked, everything 'cheh-cheh', hehehe! The braised meat tastes so much better after reheating. To reheat, I steamed it so that the gravy wouldn't dries up.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy. Another awesome recipe. This dish has all the ingredients I like especially towfoo and egg. Will certainly try it. Thanks . Chloe
ReplyDeleteHi Chloe, this is good for a One Dish Meal cos' it is not only complete with all the nutrients best of all I can prepare it way ahead of meal times. It is so flavourful after reheating.
