Stew Pork in Soy Sauce (17 November 2011)

Ingredients (serve 4):

• 300g pork steak cut in cubes
• 2 Tbsp peanut oil
• 1 thumb size ginger, chopped
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 cup water
• A pinch of sugar
• 2 big potatoes (or 4 small), cut into 8 pieces (or 4 piece) each
• 1 carrot stick, cut into thumb size pieces

Note: In this recipe, I have decided to include potatoes and carrots which will help thicken the stew. You can exclude these two ingredients and instead include cornflour slurry.


Marination:

• 3 Tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp Maggie seasoning
• some White pepper (depending on preference)
• A few drops sesame oil
• A few sprinkler salt

 

Note: If you don't have Maggie seasoning, you can substitute with dark soy sauce. Marinate for at least 15 minutes. I started marination in the morning and left it in the fridge.

Preparation:

(1) Heat pan with oil, stir-fry garlic and ginger till fragrant.

(2) Add marinated pork together with the remaining sauce during marination, dark soy sauce and stir-fry for two minutes.

(3) Add 1 cup water, sugar, potatoes, and carrots and covered the pan and let it cook over low heat for 30 minutes.

 

Ready to serve!
