the soup was bland though.

i don’t fancy this dish much & this particular stall was so so to me, apart from the fact that it was just S$4.

for a really good fish soup, try yu mei mei shi 屿美美食at havelock food centre, expensive but real good la! 🙂

made 扣肉 + nonya sauce long beans  this morning on 4.6.2016. ^^

this my 6th community lunch dish for bathesda community’s newgate learning hub (bread of life). ^^

my 1st for newgate community lunch was on 27.2.2016.:-)

nonya sauce long beans

i did a nonya sauce long beans.

it was very easy to do – just add oil, chopped garlic, cut chilli padi (or chilli oil), fry till fragrant then add cut long beans, fry & add oyster sauce & fish sauce.

i also added some stock, covered & braised the long beans & reduced.

belly pork after 4hrs at 90degC oven

for the belly pork, i added 2 tbsp mirin, 4 tbsp shaoxing cooking wine, 1 heap tbsp sugar, 1 flat tbsp salt.

fry 2 cinnamon stock & 4 star anise in a bit of oil to get the aroma, then add the mix to melt the sugar.

i then put the belly pork (blanched to remove scum) in the marinade then in oven dish in a 95degC oven for 4 hrs.

after pork has cooled, put in fridge, then sliced pork thinly & put in steam oven (or steamer) for 75mins.

i fried lightly the sliced pork adding 2 tsp dark sauce to about 1.4kg pork. dark sauce made it more fragrant.

basically pork is fully done at this step…can be served on table la..

for the community lunch for eased of transport, i placed the pork & nonya sauce long beans together in one aluminium container.

while it is a bit unhealthy to serve to the elderly folks, i noticed that they actually liked the dish better than even the deboned chicken dishes i did previously.

more people actually finished their beehoon & noodles & most finished the belly pork on their plates. i asked about 8 persons if the pork was too fat for them, they all replied it was ok & very good la.. ^^

the 4hr 95degC slow braise would have rendered out much of the fat, & this was clearly so as the sauce i drained off the pork after the oven & again after the steam oven were full of fat. but it was i guess still fatty.
