Cooking @ Home : Pork Fillet W Sweet Soy & Hoisin Sauce | Pan-Fry Pork


Pork is not very affordable over here. For background check, pork is very inaccessible and and a little expensive. So, it's sometimes, in local Chinese communities, considered luxury. Go research on how accessible pork, the premium versions are, in Malaysia. 

Thank goodness we have specialty stores manned by professional butchers who source their pork supply from their own farms, making the quality and supply more controlled. 

I have no pork skills, so what we (Jad and I) pummeled the pork slices as much as we  could. We marinaded the pummeled pork with oue preferred seasoning and left them in the fridge for a few hours (better for a day). 

There were only 2 options in my eyes = (a) Pan-frty: (2) Air-fry.

We chose pan-frying because I don't like deep frying, i.e. I don't know how to manage oil temperature for this method very well. What I have come to accept is that not everyone is good at everything and every skill in the kitchen. While I can eye-ball my way towards a good stew, I can't, for the life of me, bake. 😂

MARINADE
Soy sauce, Oyster Sauce, Chinese Rice Wine, Salt, Pepper, 1 TBs Hoisin Sauce. 

PAN-FRY
- Remove from fridge to lower temperature before cooking
- Heat 1 to 2 TBs of oil to high heat and pan-fry each side of the pork until they are light brown in coloe on each side
- Remove and set aside cooked pork fillet to cool down

SAUCE & GLAZE

- Use remaining oil and juices from the pan to make the sauce/glaze
- Saute onions and garlic till translucent
- Mix in remaining marinade and some water
- Thicken the sauce with corn flour, mix vigoriously
- Add in pork and stir, keep coating and stirring

Then SERVE and ENJOY!

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

When will Mariah stop flashing her boobs????

Mariah used to be my favourite singer of all time because she's got this amazing gift in the form of a voice that can go ANYWHERE but why oh why is she so obssessed with flashing those enormous peaks of hers everywhere...and why is it that all her songs contain sexual innuendos....touch my body is one of them. I mean, I love the song, I love the tune, I love the beat but PLEASE , Mariah, PLEASE .....why can't you be decent for once? I clicked to watch because I like the song and spent a couple of minutes crossing my fingers that she won't be flashing anything (FAT CHANCE!) in the video. But nope....no such luck. In fact, with a song like that, she goes even further over the top. Where got people answer the door in this type of clothing wan?? Is she for real??? I mean, in this video, she calls a technician up to fix her computer and she answers the foor LIKE THAT ??? Aish.... But the video was entertaining in a sense because the lam-chue-kok (male lead) is this geeky,...
