Braised Pork

Back at home, my mom used to prepare braised pork in dark soy sauce. I never pay much attention to her verbal cooking instruction so when I left home I can only miss the dish & savour its taste in my memory.

Luckily, I found this blog: http://belachan2.blogspot.com/2009/03/braised-pork-in-5-spice-powder-and.html. The blogger is also a Malaysian chinese who can obviously cook much better than me. So without second thought, I decided to give the braised pork recipe a try.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly...forget to 'seal' the pork by pan frying them a little & I used slightly less dark soy sauce & oil than described. Also added some chinese mushroom (like what mom used to do) and also a couple of hard boiled eggs. The result still turns out very good. I think it's a pretty robust recipe that can't really go wrong. Mine was done in 1½ hours (much faster than the original recipe as well).

Here's a picture of the end result, to share. I eat it with white rice, so delicious. Mom, I made it! ^.^
