FRIED PORK WITH MUSHROOMS & FUNGUS

This is a very tasty, fragrant fried pork dish.  Basically, coloured and flavoured with the fermented red beancurd [nam yee] sauce and this dish is awesome.

The original cooking method is to deep fry the marinated pork but I have used pan fry method to avoid using too much oil.  With pan fry method, the pork fillets are tender and flavoursome.  This dish is quick to cook with the use of pork tenderloin.  You can use pork belly for this dish but it has to be deep fried otherwise, the braising time will be a little longer to tenderise the meat.

Recipe adapted from Yum Yum Magazine No. 87 with modifications. This is my selected cookbook for this Cookbook Countdown Event #14
