While I was at a ladies gathering, I noticed that my girls loved this pork dish. Lily made this dish with a Chinese preserved vegetable and she told me it was very easy, just used the microwave or put it in the rice cooker 5 minutes before the rice is cooked. This is one familiar home cook dishes in Malaysian households as my mom used to make this dish too, along with the steamed eggs. You can also find it at the place where they sell porridge or economy rice. But for some reason, I just never make it, perhaps finding steaming takes too much time. Anyway, now I learned that it takes 4 minutes in a microwave, I have no reason not to make it anymore. Since I don't have the Chinese preserved vegetable, I substituted it with salted turnips/ "chai por" and used my seasonings since I couldn't remember what Lily told me already (she was busy cooking and spoke so fast that it just went in my right ear and came out my left ear, LOL!). Got to say, it turned out delicious and very flavorful. "Chai Por" is a very good substitute.
Ingredients:
Ground Pork, about 1/2 pound
"Chai Por" (Chinese chopped salted turnips), about 1/4 cup
Chopped garlic, 2 cloves
Seasonings:
Xiao Shin wine, 1 tsp.
Soy sauce, 1 tsp.
Garlic powder, few dashes
White pepper, few dashes
Sesame oil, 1/2 tsp.
Salt, 1/4 tsp.
Sugar, 1/2 tsp.
Method:
1. Mix everything together in a bowl. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours, preferable.
2. Transfer it in a microwave safe bowl. Pour a little water on top. Microwave for three minutes. Take it out, cut a cross in the middle and microwave for another minute. Serve warm.
