Pork Chop with SAMBAL sweet chili lime sauce


How are your pork chops prepared? Grill, bake, or fry them? The sauce is crucial no matter how you prepare them. You may find honey garlic sauce, garlic lemon sauce, mushroom sauce, and more sauces for western recipes. Sweet and sour pork chops is the popular Chinese recipe with its sweet tangy sauce.

I'll be serving my pork chop today with SAMBAL SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chilli paste is the major component of this dish. It has rich flavours of roasted veggies and is usually boosted with dried shrimp. It is sour and spicy. This traditional chilli paste is incredibly adaptable. Use it anyway you like, I occasionally use it in the tom yum soup noodles, stir-fries with the blanched French beans, and even just as a spread over sliced cucumber or bread.

You can use any other variety of dried red chilies to prepare the paste but bear in mind that they will often be hotter the smaller they are. I'm using a mixture of mild and hot chilies.


The butcher informed me that there are usually two different kinds of pork chops: the outer spine and the tenderloin. The most tender meat, tenderloin, is what he suggests I use for my recipe. In fact, the meat quality of different parts of the pig is different, and they are suitable for different cooking methods, and there is a lot of knowledge in the selection. After slicing the pork chops into bite-sized pieces, pound the meat with a meat mallet or the back of a knife to separate the tiny protein fibers that can actually stick together during cooking and make the pork tighten up and become tough.

The citrus flavour from the lime juice and kaffir lime leaves really brightens it up. There is a slight crunch from the coating, but the pork chops are also sticky and tender and not overly sweet, salty, or spicy. The pork chop has a lovely zesty lime flavour, and my entire family thinks it's really tasty.

Let us get all the ingredients to hand to make this tasty cuisine.



INGREDIETS

(Sweet chilli paste)


10 large, dried chillies (5 spur chillies, 5 mild chillies)

2 tbsp dried shrimps

10 cloves whole garlic, peeled

4 heads shallots, peeled and cut into large chunks

3 tbsp tamarind juice

¼ tsp salt

1 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp palm sugar, finely chopped

½ tsp shrimp paste (belacan)

¼ cup vegetable oil

 

METHOD

 

1. To remove the dust, briefly soak the dried chiles in water, then wash and pat dry with paper towels. In a dry sauté pan over medium heat, toast the dried chilies while turning continuously until they have some charred spots and smell smoky. Then remove from pan and set aside.

2. Toast the garlic and shallots in the same pan, stirring often until they are charred.

3. To lessen the spiciness, use scissors to cut the toasted dry chilies into large chunks, remove the seeds and pith from the dried chiles. Thereafter, use a coffee grinder to powderize the dried chiles.

4. Combine all the ingredients, except for the oil, in a food processor, and process until they form a smooth paste. If you are using a blender, you might need to add a little water (not tamarind juice) to grind into a fine paste. Scrape the sides down occasionally.

5.Transfer the chilli paste and cooking oil to a wok, simmer over low heat, and stir constantly. Cook and thicken the paste to a desired consistency. If you want a thinner consistency, add extra frying oil. Store in a glass jar and it can be kept in the refrigerator for a few months.

Ondeh-Ondeh in 3 flavour （椰丝球）

Today made a popular dessert in Malaysia, “Ondeh Ondeh”, a type of Nyonya recipe. It is also called “Buah Melaka” because it looks like the fruit of the Malacca tree. The procedure of making is easy. The flavoured glutinous rice balls have grated fresh coconut on the outside and melting Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, inside. The white, milky coconut shreds and little balls of various colours appear fresh and natural. and has a charming appearance. The glutinous rice balls, soft glutinous and chewy are determined by the amount of water and cooking time. The softer the rice balls, the more water and more time it boiled. We like our coconut shreds to be moist and crisp, the melted Gula Melaka to be rich and flavorful, and the texture to be somewhat mushy and sticky. It seems like the nostalgic flavour of my childhood is returning. In addition to the traditional pandan flavour, I have included instructions for making it with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Of all the flavours of "ondeh...

So, this year I am going to share some of jelly mooncakes that I love. Making jelly mooncakes isn't difficult, and I'm always eagerly anticipating the finished product, because there are always so many surprises when I cut into it.

Today I am going to transform it into a mooncake.   Other than the beautiful moss from cooking and stirring the mixture. The white layer part that looks like shredded coconut which is actually made from the mixture of agar powder, fresh coconut water and coconut milk. Grate it after it is set...

Braised Pork Belly Char Siu on Stove

  Grilling char Siu is time-consuming? Yes, indeed!! The marinating and cooking steps involved in grilling char Siu might take a lot of time.   In order to allow the flavors to seep into the meat, the traditional process involves marinating the pork for a few hours, often overnight.   Additionally, grilling might take some time, particularly if you want that distinctive char. And also create a crispy surface and smoky flavor. You might say can make char siu, or Chinese BBQ pork with oven baking, or air frying. Oven baking produces an excellent crust and a balance of juiciness. Air fryer is the quickest way to produce a crispy outside and a soft within, although it might not cook as uniformly as oven baking. Today I am sharing a super easy stove top version. You even get a lovely sauce to go with it, and the results are just incredible. It lacks charred or roasted flavor of charcoal because it is cooked entirely on the hob.   Trust me, this method is definitely ...
