Recipes with pork
Chinese crispy pork belly is, in my humble opinion, the best kind of pork belly. It is the perfect combination of crispy (not hard and crunchy) skin with juicy and tender meat. I was actually planning on making a kimchi pork belly stew to accompany the Korean fried chicken that my brother and his girlfriend … Continue reading Chinese crispy pork belly
'Kyay oh' is one of my favourite comfort foods. I described it to my husband as the Burmese equivalent of the Vietnamese noodle soup, 'pho'. Whereas 'pho' is commonly made with beef, 'kyay oh' is made with pork and served with a variety of toppings such as pork liver, pork intestine and quail eggs. I … Continue reading Basic Burmese kyay oh
My uncle made this amazing Chinese turnip cake one night for Chinese New Year many years ago. It had a lot of fillings and had a lot of umami flavour. At the time, I didn't understand why he was so excited about the fillings as surely they were standard in all turnip cakes. Little did … Continue reading Chinese turnip cake

Serves … Continue reading Basic pork and prawn wonton (248 calories per serve)

I love san choy bow, which is a minced pork dish that is usually sered in lettuce cups. However, I had some green cabbage in the fridge that I had bought when it was on sale at the supermarket which would also go well with the pork. So here's a san choy cabbage! Serves 4 … Continue reading San choy cabbage
I have deliberately not included a calorie count for this recipe because it got really depressing. It was also hard to calculate because although there are a lot of calories in the ingredients, you don't end up consuming it all so it was a bit pointless estimating. But let's just say it could be about … Continue reading Red Spice Road pork belly (adapted version)
