Rice Noodles With Braised Pork Preserved Veggies(梅菜扣肉米粉)




How would you do with the leftover pork belly with preserved vegetables (梅菜扣肉)? Have you ever tried rice noodles with braised pork with preserved veggies?

Rice Noodles with braised pork preserved veggies (扣肉米粉)is a mouth-watering home-cooked recipe. Every bite is an unforgettable enjoyment. The rice noodles completely absorb the essence of the sauce – is simply too fragrant and delicious.


I add fresh vegetables like carrots, baby corn and bok choy in addition to the leftover preserved vegetables from the braised pork. Additionally, I add yuba or bean curd skin, which absorbs the excess oil from the braised pork and makes it less greasy while also sort of balancing the flavor of each bite.

You don't need to add much seasoning because the leftover braised pork has enough flavor. Because rice noodles, bean curd skin, and fresh veggies were added. Seasoning  still need to be adjusted according to your preference.

One thing about rice noodles is not soaking with hot water, normal water will do. Do not soak the rice noodles until they are too soft. If they are too soft, the rice noodles will become mushy. Each brand of rice noodles absorbs water differently, so the water content and seasonings must be adjusted accordingly. I soaked my rice noodles for 45 minutes and I was quite satisfied with the texture, so I didn’t add in water to the rice noodles.

To prevent breaking the pork belly during the frying process, you can set it aside while adding rice noodles to the stew. However, adding the pork belly last is more secure.

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉)

Dong Po Rou (东坡肉) – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

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...
