Mum's secret

2 beautiful dishes were created some time back. So let's begin to track back !

Stir-fry pork in Spring onion.

The most original dish that my mum has ever prepare. A simple marinating and a short cooking time are all this dish need.

Preparation
Slice the onion
Cut the the spring onion to about 4-5 cm, chop some of the spring onion finely.
Cut the 'yao' pork aka ("waist meat") thin slices (depend on your liking).
Marinate the pork with cornflour, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and white pepper.

*by putting in cornflour, it will bring up the texture of the pork itself, adding it the "Q" texture.

Method
Put the hot pan on medium heat, add in olive oil and onion for about 2-3 min. add in the marinated pork and cook for 2-3 min, adding in a tablespoon of oyster sauce and a pinch of sugar. cover with lid for about 2 min. lift up the lid you should be able to see your pork has a little starchy sauce at the bottom (if there isn't, you can add a tablespoon of water). Add in the spring onion. cover up the lid again for 2 min. Serve hot with white rice.

Shrimp Mix with sweet potato leaves.

A dish that you commonly see people ordering when they are eating cze char.

Preparation
Wash and check the leaves of the sweet potato. look out for black spot and any bite hole done by the worm. Tear the center portion of the leave, keep it. Break the "head" of the leave and tear the vibe around the stem, throw it away. Do so for all the stem, Chopped the rest of the stem into 4-5 cm.
Using a pestle and mortar, place in the shrimp, garlic and shallot, pound it to form a paste.

Method
Put the hot pan on medium heat, add in olive oil and shrimp mix until you smell that sweet pungent smell. Add in the potato leaves cover with lid until the leaves are soft. Add chilli as desired and a pinch of sugar to lift up the taste and bring it to another level. Serve hot.
