Sharing a very popular dish among my family, from my kid to husband, who couldn’t say “no” to additional bowl of rice to “Braised Potato Pork” on dinner.
Easy ingredients and simple cooking steps, let’s cook with me!
Braised Potato Pork
Ingredients :-
- 300g meat, sprinkle some pepper and olive oil to marinate for 30minutes (I’m selecting tenderloin part mix leg part, tender and easy chewing for my kid).
- 3 mid size of potato (diced, rinsed and put aside).
- Soy sauce 3tbsp, oyster 2tbsp, sugar 1 1/2 tbsp, dark soy sauce 1tbsp, pepper, cinnamon and star anise to mix well and set aside.
- Few cubes crystal sugar.
- 200ml water
Cooking Steps :-
Blanch or boil pork part, for 5-minutes. Set aside.
Hot stove, hot oil and add diced potato to fry to golden brown. Add some water to fry potato, to avoid over burnt. Stir fry for 10-minutes at mid heat. Set aside to bowl.
Add crystal sugar to pot, to fry to caramel brown colour.
Mid heat stove, add pork to pot, keep stirring to coat caramel sugar on every piece of pork and to avoid over burnt for 5-minutes.
Add fried potato back to pot, mix well with caramel pork.
Add sauces #3 to stir well pork and potato.
Add 200ml water to pot to boil for 15-minutes at mid heat.
Boil at slow heat for 15-minutes.
5-minutes for sauce thickening and add dark soy sauce, served!
Tip :-
- Add fried potato at last 10-minutes if you prefer more harden texture.
- Skip dark soy sauce for lighter colour tone on dish and lesser sweetness taste too.
- Carrot and onion are best ingredients for more kids friendly version.
- Cook extra portion to keep at freezer, for next day eating to safe cooking time and instant comfort meal (I always do this, haha!).
