5. Sweet and Savory Stir-fried Pork
Ingredients:
- Pork belly: 300g
- Freshwater prawns: 300g
- Dried shallots: 3 bulbs
- Garlic: 3 cloves
- Sugar, salt, seasoning powder, fish sauce
Method:
- Clean the meat thoroughly. Cut into moderately thick pieces, about 1/3 of a finger's length. Marinate with finely chopped shallots, garlic, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Clean the shrimp, remove the whiskers and legs, then toss with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Remember to use a strainer to toss the shrimp instead of chopsticks.
- After marinating the meat for about 15 minutes, heat a pan over high heat, pour the meat in and stir-fry over high heat to make the meat edges brown and visually appealing without drying out.
- When the meat starts to brown on the edges as shown in the picture, flip the meat and reduce the heat.
- Continue cooking over medium heat until the meat is cooked through and browned evenly on the edges as shown. Since we marinated with shallots and garlic earlier, keeping the heat low at this stage will prevent them from burning.
- Lower heat also helps reduce the fat from the meat, making it less greasy. At this point, tilt the pan and spoon out excess fat.
- Once the meat is cooked, switch to frying the shrimp. Turn the heat to high, and when the shrimp start turning pink, gently tilt the pot/pan to flip the shrimp.
- Repeat this process until the shrimp turns a beautiful pinkish-orange color like this. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Pour the shrimp into the meat pan, add a few drops of soy sauce for a richer color. Also, remember not to use chopsticks to stir, but gently tilt the pan. This will keep the shrimp intact, juicy inside with crispy shells.
- Finally, adjust the seasoning once more, adding sugar or salt according to your family's taste before serving on a plate.
