Boiling…

This is another simple dish that my mum used to cook during my growing up years and I really liked it a lot…

It was one of those dishes where whenever there was any left over from lunch and kept for dinner, when evening fell and it was time to sit down and eat, there would not be very much left. Don’t look at me! I’m innocent, I swear!!! Muahahahahahaha!!!

Nothing can be easier to cook than this, take my word for it! All you have to do is to put the slabs of pork in some water in a pot…

…and bring it to boil. Let it simmer for as long as you can, say, around half an hour, at least, to make sure that it is cooked inside.

Pour the water into another pot…

You can save that stock for soup or to cook with vegetables or whatever else.

Add around half a teaspoon of salt to the meat and sprinkle a pinch of msg all over it. You may add more, if you do not mind those things – lately, I’ve been cutting down on them so I just put a bit of each. Cover the pot and shake vigorously to mix the meat with the seasonings added…

Keep the pot covered and let it stand till it is time to sit down and eat. The heat in the pot will enable the salt and the msg to seep into meat to enhance its taste. You may shake it again once or twice, if you wish.

Going back to the the stock, add some water to it to dilute it a little and bring it back to boil. Add a pinch of salt and msg to it and garnish with chopped spring onions and fried sliced shallots…

…and serve it as soup.

Cut the meat into thin slices…

…and serve.

Well, there is salt added and also a bit of msg but at least, there is no frying involved, no added oil and the best part, of course, would be the fact that it is so very easy to cook and yet so delicious to eat!
