Soy Soy Soy Braised Pork

It's been a long while not writing any post. Not to say super busy that I don't have time to cook but I just simply cook and not in a mood to write (alright, I'm lazy I admit it). Today,  I made this pork dish and I think it's simple and delicious. So I wanted to share this recipe with you all.


Ingredients 
300-400g lean pork (I buy top pork shoulder) - slice thinly 
1 pc UK potato - cut into cube
1 pc Onion - finely chopped
1 clove Garlic - finely chopped
*2 tbsp Soy Sauce
*1 tsp Taucu
*abit of Fermented Black Bean - wash thoroughly to remove skin
* A bit of Gula Melaka

Cooking Steps:
1. Heat up pan and pour some oil.
2. Pan fry potatoes 
3. Add in the pork. Keep on pan fry until dries up. 
4. Heat up another pot. 
5. Pour in some oil to fry the onion and garlic until brown and fragrant. 
6. Once the pork dries up. Slightly fry abut until you can smell fragrant. 
7. Transfer potatoes and pork to the pot. 
8. Add in water to be on same par level. Let it boil, then turn fire to low-medium. 
9. Braise for half hour and ready to serve. 

*Note :
1. Cut potatoes in larger cube and fry the potatoes till brown if you want the potatoes to be less mushy. 
2. You can adjust amount and quantity adjust to your liking. 

I also want to share a good Soy Sauce that I used in this recipe.The brand is called Se Woh (四和). It's located at Kampar, nearby to Ipoh, Perak. I google a bit about this brand and find it's a traditional local factory with more than 70 years history. 

This is a premium soy sauce and not very salty. The soy flavour become robust after cooking. I have used Lee Kuan Kei and Kikkoman. The Kikkoman premium soy sauce is considered the better one compared to Lee brand.
