lean pork with onions, carrot, potatoes

made lean pork with yellow onions, carrots & potatoes this morning on 16.7.2016. ^^

this my 9th community lunch dish for bathesda community’s newgate learning hub (bread of life). ^^

my 1st for newgate community lunch was on 27.2.2016.

lean pork 5hrs 90degC oven + 45mins steaming

i used 1.2kg lean pork.

scalded, removed some remaining fats, then placed in oven dish with a brine of sugar, salt & chinese hua diao wine 花雕酒in 90degC oven for 5 hrs.

then i sliced the lean pork very thinly & steamed in steam oven for 45mins.

obviously i could have ommitted these 2 steps & fried the sliced lean pork. slicing thinly helps to tenderise the pork so should be ok.

but i didn’t mind the steps & it makes the pork very tender for the old folks.

onions, carrots, potatoes

i fried yellow onion with chopped garlic first, then added carrots & soften.

then i added the sauce from the pork oven dish & also the steamer & added the cubed potatoes.

i added 2 tbsp tomato sauce & 1 tbsp oyster sauce & reduced while cooking the potatoes.

when potatoes were cooked to the right texture (just separate when pressed with spatula..very nice, tasty) the sauce had mostly reduced nicely.

then i added the steamed lean pork & tossed to coat the pork with the sauce & to mix well.
