Black Pepper Chicken

Here's the black pepper chicken. Added more sauce this time. Had finished this sauce and need to replenish soon but unfortunately, I think it's only available in Sarawak.

Black Pepper Pork 24 Sept 08

Mum gave a packet of black pepper sauce from Sarawak and tried using it to make simple pork dish (tried replacing pork with chicken and it tasted as good). It must be the sauce which make this dish tasteful. This is how I do it. Deep fry the pork and set it aside. Leave a bit of oil in the wok. Stir fry one onion (sliced) and then add in 1 cup of the black pepper sauce, 1 tbsp of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Let the sauce simmer for a while and then add in the pork/chicken. Place some baked cashew nuts on the dish.

Dinner on Saturday

My FiL came over for dinner and had prepared these dishes.
Steam Fish: Firstly, rub salt on the fish. Place ginger, carrot, chinese mushroom, red chilli, ham choy (all sliced thinly) and asam boi on the fish. Add fish sauce and steam for 10-12 minutes.

Fried Ladyfingers: Heat up wok with oil, stir fry chopped garlic and dried prawns for a minute. Add in ladyfingers (sliced diagonally) and sliced red chilli and stir fry until the ladyfingers are soft. Add soy sauce to taste.

For satisfaction guaranteed, complemented the dishes with our all time favorite i.e. Roasted Pork. Of course this was not self-cooked but bought from the market nearby our place and it taste consistently good.

The favorite dish for the day was Tofu with Mincemeat: Fry 2 packs of Japanese tofu and set aside. Heat the wok with oil, stir fry chopped garlic and chinese mushroom for a minute. Add in mincemeat and soy sauce and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add in mix vegetable, salt to taste and ¾ cup of water and let it simmers for 4-5 minutes. Thicken the sauce with corn flour. Dish the mincemeat on the tofu and serve hot.

Sausage Pie

This dish is suppose to be called mexican sausage pie as it uses pork chipolata sausages (a type of small thin sausage originally from Mexico which I don't think are sold in Malaysia). Anyway went ahead to try it by replacing it with pork BBQ sausages. The sauce is good as it uses onion, baked bean and white button mushroom. The top was spread with mashed potatoes (which I would add more the next time I make this again).

Thai chili pork

This dish was taught by my mum. Simple and nice. You can replace the pork with chicken (about 300g). Mixed the pork with tapioca starch and salt, fry it and put aside. Place 1/4 a cup of water, 2 tbsp tomato sauce, 2 tbsp thai chili sauce and 1 tbsp of sugar. Stir the mixture until little bubbles appear. Then pour in the fried meat.
