Sometimes i am so tired of eating outside all the time. After a while, all the outside food tend to taste similar, be it "home made" or not. When this happen, is time to don your apron and start cooking! I really pity all those people who spend tens of thousand Ringgit to furnish their kitchen but never cook, whats the point then for spending so much money??
As a working couple, time is always crucial for us. Most of the time we do not have time to frequent the fresh market everyday, so the ingredient of our dish need to be easily available at the mini-market or the stuff itself can be stored in freezer for some time.
Here is a dish where you can easily prepared and still have time to watch a DVD.
"Braised Pork Trotter"
Main Ingredient:
1. 01 x pork trotter.
2. 4 cloves of Garlic.
3. 4-5 stalk of Dried Chilly or fresh red chillies.
4. 02 cili padi.
5. a "Thumb" size of old ginger.
6. 02 tbl spoon of Bean Paste(Taucu).
7. 02 tbl spoon of dark soya sauce(thick ones).
8. 01 tbl spoon of light soya sauce.
9. 1/2 cup of asam juice(from asam ko).
10. 02 tbl spoon of sugar.
11. Water
Ingredients preparation:
1.Whack the garlic flat and remove the skin.
2. Cut the ginger into slice, the cili padi and the dried chilli into small pieces.
3. rinse the pork trotter in hot water bath for 20-30 seconds to get rid of the "piggy" smell.
Cooking Method.
1. mixed all the ingredient into your pot or "corningware" and stirred well. Put in water last. the amount of water put in should be just until about the same level with your pork. DO NOT attempt to cover the ingredient with water!
Heat it up until boiled and then braised in slow fire for 120 minutes. Now, put in that DVD in the player...
Before serve, season to taste with more asam ko juice, light soya sauce or sugar.
This dish goes well with either noodle or rice. The best part is, the leftover can keep in fridge for your next meal. Is so simple......
