  2. 9pax RI bros home dinner on 1.10.2019.
  3. 29pax C Y Day2 lunch on 6.2.2019.

just fry carrots with lots of chopped garlic first to soften, then add cabbage and fry.  add 2 red fermented beancurd and 2 tbsp oyster sauce. add water and mushrooms, cloud fungus and beancurd skin and boil for 1.5 hours. reduce. then add tanhoon and cook for 5mins. voila!

tip-

to ensure texture is right, i actually boil mushroom, cloud fungus, beancurd skin separately-mushroom 2 hrs, cloud fungus and beancurd skin 1 hr…anyhow to the right texture and add back to the dish to coat with the red fermented beancurd and reduce.

红油豆瓣酱 chilli bean paste pork softbones

recently i have been making quite many times 红油豆瓣酱 chilli bean paste pork softbones.

it is very easy to make and can cook in large quantities, like for-

  1. 16pax dinner at aloha loyang bungalow bbq for RI bros and Matthias family on 16.1.2020
  2. 40pax lunch for HCA Hospice Care patients on 8.10.2019.

i get frozen pork softbones from sheng shiong, 400g packet S$3.95. so for 40pax lunch i cook 6 packets = 2.4kg; for 16pax aloha bbq i cook 2 packets 800g.

just braise the pork softbones for 1.5hrs till tender, reduce and the dish is done. very tasty and delicious, and basically no effort.
