Steam Red Date Meat Dumpling

This Steamed Red Date Meat Dumpling is inspired by one of the economical rice stall (cai fan - 菜饭) near my area. I find this dish rather interesting whiling ordering our usual dishes so I decide to try it out. And after trying I thought maybe I can replicate it using similar ingredients base of what I eaten.

Stir-fry Pork Liver With Rice Wine

Today is a lazy Sunday morning while my son slept an hour and the half more than his usual wake up time. So while he is still in dreamland, I continue peeling the outer skin of the dried walnuts which I am going to use it for cooking his porridge. Our lunch menu for today will be "Vegetable Pork with Minced Pork and Walnut" serve together with Stir-fry Pork Liver With Rice Wine.

Steam Pork Shoulder With Black Bean Sauce

Since I have some Pork Shoulder (妃子骨) in the fridge, I decided to make this Steamed Pork Shoulder with Black Bean Sauce which recommended by one of my blogger friend. According to her, pork shoulder bone has little cartilage and the meat is also of better quality which in a way the result will be smooth and soft. 

Lemon & Coffee Pork Chop

Saw this dish from a cookbook that I loan from the library. Decided to try out the recipe since we are coffee lovers and indeed the end result turns out well with hint of coffee fragrant, sweet and sour taste from the tomato sauce and tender bite of meat.

Taiwan Style Pork Cutlet

This Taiwan-style Pork Cutlet (台式炸猪排饭) is one of the famous local dish which you can find it most Taiwan restaurant. "台湾小吃之一". Even though this dish has quite a strong "ginger" and "five spices" taste, overall it still a special meat dish to go with white rice, egg and stir-fry cabbage.

Coke Pork Ribs

  Coke Pork Ribs (using Happy Call Pan version) was one of the dishes that I cooked yesterday and we all agreed that it taste similar to  "Pai Gu Wang". Before trying this recipe I still have doubt that it might not taste nice by just using Coke as the main ingredients and also the smell of the dish also seems funny during the cooking process. But after about an hour of stewing in low heat, the colour starts to turn more appetizing instead of light pink and the sauce was thicken up too. So if you are curious with its taste, do try out this recipe since you only required 3 ingredients such as; spare ribs, coke and LKK Char Siu Sauce.

Ingredients:
500g Prime Pork Ribs, cut smaller pieces
2 Tablespoons Lee Kim Kiet Char Siew Sauce
½ Can Of Coke

Methods:
1. Wash and pat dry the ribs then marinate it with char siu sauce, ½ Tablespoon cooking wine, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce and dash of pepper.
2. Set aside in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.
3. Pour all the spare ribs together with the marinade sauce into a non-stick saucepan or pot. Add in coke and simmer on low heat until meat is soften and sauce had thicken.

Notes:
a) You had to turn the ribs a few time so as to get it coated with the sauce in the pan.
b) If you want your pork ribs to have a nice dark brown colour, you can add another 1/2 teaspoon of dark soy sauce while simmering.
