i did a wok fried lean pork+long beans in nonya sauce for teban gardens community service centre on 24.6.2016.
this my 14th friday breakfast community meal at teban gardens community service centre.
i first started doing a community meal dish for teban gardens CSC on 8.1.2016.
the centre was started in 2002 after much effort & challenge by our RI friend who is a pastor of pasir panjang hill brethren church (pphbc) which owns & runs the CSC.
doing 1 dish for 80-100pax is actually quite simple stuff with some planning.
i did a series for chicken & pork dishes & a few weeks of fish fillet.
one key consideration is that it should be boneless (so i do not cook pork ribs or whole fish with bones but only fish fillet) & also not so spicy.
for chicken dishes i deboned the chicken & because i need about 3 chickens (about 26 – 30 cut pieces for 1 chicken), it take 1 hr to debone the 3 chickens.
pork is easier. at first i used mostly belly pork. then i used pork collar which are less fat. this time i used lean pork.
for belly pork & pork collar i used the double cooked pork method 回锅肉,so the pork belly or collar were already tender & flavorful (5hrs in 90degC oven) before i fried them. for lean pork that is not needed.
long beans in nonya sauce was easy to prepare. about 1 kg of long beans.
for the lean pork, i tried to cut it thin. also about 1 kg of lean pork.
& just fried with some oyster sauce & fish sauce.
& added just a teaspoon of mala chilli at the end.
& put the 2 together in 1 aluminium container (top photo).
