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.

  Today I will share with you how to make Malay kuih also known as “Ma Lai Gao”.   A steamed sponge cake from Malaysia, drew inspiration from British cakes. Later, Cantonese chefs modified it to become what we now know as dim sum. Traditionally, Ma Lai Gao's starter dough takes 24 hours to prepare. I'll show you how to make Ma Lai Gao quickly and easily today without losing out on texture or flavour. In fact, the appearance of “Ma Lai Kou” is very ordinary, not much different from ordinary cakes on the market, but its preparation method and texture are worth learning from. Because it is a fermented flour product, it has a soft and smooth texture. This recipe doesn't require baking, and the preparation of “Ma Lai Gao” is very simple, and the ingredients are divided into dry and wet. The wet ones are milk and eggs, while the dry ones are powdered ingredients. To put it simply, stir the wet ingredients evenly first, then slowly add the dry ingredients, ferment and then s...

Baked Cassava or Tapioca Cake （烤木薯糕）

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

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...
