Was browsing Pinterest (do you pronounce it as pin-terest or pin-interest? I mispronounced it as pin-interest for so long that I can’t correct myself anymore 😛 ) for breakfast ideas last weekend and stumbled on a sausage patties pin. It brought back childhood memories of a particular popular fast food chain’s breakfast menu – though I can never…
Meat: Pork
Stove-Top BBQ Pork Ribs
We are moving back to Singapore soon! We have been living overseas for almost 2.5 years now and I honestly can’t believe how time flies. We have also collected our keys to our home a month ago during our trip back to Singapore, so I’ve been busy designing and re-designing the house these days, hence…
Korean Spicy Stir-Fried Pork 돼지불고기 (Dwaejibulgogi) and Seaweed Soup 미역국(Miyeokguk)
Today I’m sharing not one… but two Korean recipes that I like making these days – an addictive, delicious and spicy stir-fried pork and a nutritious seaweed soup. We had these two dishes with rice and homemade kimchi, which was so, so satisfying. I took only about 1 hour to make both dishes and the rice, which…
Homemade Freeform Pork Sausages (Without Casing)
Minced pork appear very often in our daily meals because they thaw easily (I always freeze them in 100-gram portions) and are extremely versatile – I use them in soups, stir-frys, meatballs… Whenever I stock up from our butcher, instead of getting the pre-ground minced pork (which are usually quite fatty), I will request for a separate lean…
Taiwanese Braised Pork with Rice [Lu Rou Fan / 滷肉饭]
![Taiwanese Braised Pork with Rice [Lu Rou Fan / 滷肉饭]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/DSC06136-2-320x320.jpg)
Lu Rou Fan, which means “Braised Meat Rice” literally, is an extremely popular and incredibly delicious Taiwanese specialty. Made with pork braised primarily in soy sauce and other aromatics, the mixture is spooned over a bowl of steaming hot rice and served with eggs and firm tofu. It is one of my favourite dishes – so good that…
Baked Tonkatsu (Japanese Pork Cutlet)
Tonkatsu, aka Japanese deep-fried pork cutlet, is one my ultimate and favourite food. Juicy and moist pork chop coated with a simple panko and deep-fried to perfection – it’s extremely sinful but also extremely satisfying all at the same time. I found 2 pork chops at home when I was checking my freezer stock, but as…
Stove-Top BBQ Pulled Pork [Bonus Recipe: KFC Coleslaw]
![Stove-Top BBQ Pulled Pork [Bonus Recipe: KFC Coleslaw]](https://www.foodiebaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/DSC00490-320x320.jpg)
Last week, my friends and I whipped up a “KFC” meal – we soaked the chicken pieces in buttermilk brine, seasoned them with 11 different spices and herbs before deep-frying and baking them. The fried chicken were served with mashed potatoes (made with real potatoes and not those disgusting instant powder kinds), coleslaw and cheese fries….
My Mom’s Quick Braised Tau Kwa (Extra Firm Tofu) with Minced Pork
I love eating tofu – be it silken or firm; deep-fried, braised or steamed; smelly or non-smelly! But finding tofu overseas (in non-Asian countries) can be really difficult. For the first few months when I’m here, I only saw tofu packed in paper boxes that don’t need to be refrigerated, which looks really weird. As it was also…
Sweet and Sour Pork (Gu Lou Yok / 咕噜肉)
Cai fan (菜饭), literally translated to “vegetable rice” or known as Economical Rice, is a dish where we pair a portion of steamed white rice with vegetables, meat and seafood dishes of our choice and is available in every food court or hawker centres in Singapore. Different cai fan stalls will offer different types of dishes for you…
Roasted Pork (Siu Yuk / 烧肉)
I’m having a bit of what I call a “Baker’s Block” (instead of “Writer’s Block”) recently, because many of the recipes I’ve tested these days came out only okay. They don’t taste that amazing for me to blog about them or maybe I lacked a crucial ingredient to make them look/taste better (e.g. I made Pad…
Mom’s Chinese Potato and Minced Pork Stew
I love potatoes, whether they are baked, fried, boiled, steamed, stewed or grilled – all are my favourite! This particular dish is one that my mom prepares often – it’s a very quick and easy potato stew with minced pork that can be made in less than 30 minutes. When I was younger, I would drizzle the salty and…
My Mom’s Soy Sauce Braised Pork Belly
One of the dishes that I crave most after moving here is my mom’s braised pork belly (aka tau yu bak). Her fuss-free and ridiculously simple recipe is made with only 5 ingredients! Braised for 2 to 2 1/2 hours on the stove, the fats are melt-in-the-mouth (my absolute favourite part), the meat is so tender and…
Asian-Style Turkey-Pork Meatballs
When my previous stash of meatballs ran out, I decided to experiment with a different meatball recipe, using different meat and seasoning. The plan was to get minced chicken, but due to language barrier and my lack of observation skills, I had gotten a bag of minced turkey instead.
Korean Keema
The moment I saw this recipe over at Joyce’s blog, I knew I have to make it. Both X and I are huge fan of one-dish rice meals – he loves it because it’s easy to eat and I can simply scoop it on top of rice, meaning less dishes for him to wash up later; I love it…
Ultimate Beef-Pork Meatballs
Meatballs are such a comfort and convenient food. True, the making of them may not be that convenient, but after you made them, they can be frozen and they will last you for many meals to come. They can be pan-fried or baked; eaten plain, with pastas, with potatoes, in sandwiches etc… so many choices to choose from! I’m…
Sticky Asian Pork Chops
Chops are one of my favourite comfort food – there’s this alluring and comforting feeling when I hear the chops (be it chicken, beef or pork) sizzling away in the frying pan or on top of a grill. Pair it with a creamy sauce like a mushroom sauce – a thousand times yes! But today this…
Macanese Minchi
Have you been to Macau? I was there a few years ago and I love the place – especially the food (to be honest, food is always the main focus whenever I’m travelling, hah!) The egg tarts, Serradura, pork chop buns… mmm! Macanese cuisine consists a blend of Chinese and Portuguese cuisines, with the addition…
Tau Cheo Pork (Braised Pork in Salted Bean Paste)
Tau cheo (豆酱) is a fermented soy bean paste made from yellow soy beans. It is very salty, slightly smoky, and slightly yeasty – a flavour that regular salt cannot give. Because it is so salty, it is used sparingly or when used in large amounts, sugar will be added to balance out the saltiness….
Tofu-Pork Meatballs with Sticky Sauce
While browsing the photos of recipes I have yet to blogged, I saw this meatballs recipe and realised that it fulfills the Little Thumbs Up theme this month – soy (which includes tofu!) Tofu is a food that I really love – there’s silken tofu that is like a blank canvas, ready to go with…
Pork Roast with Orange-Mango and Onion
And just like that, we are heading into September! Though it doesn’t apply to sunny Singapore which is summer all year round, I think all my overseas food buddies are starting to prepare their fall menu – which means lots of apples, pumpkins, pies, soups, stews etc. All the comfort food! Thinking about them just…
Mustard Pork Chops (Nigella)
Pan-frying and deep-frying are two things that I don’t really like doing at home as it always involve using high heat – high heat causes oil to smoke and to spurt further, and because there is no partition between the kitchen and living room, the smoke and oil will “travel”, making the whole house smoky…
Baked Maple Ribs (Nigella)
When we subscribed for SCV/Starhub TV (aka cable tv), the channels that I watched most are the cooking channels, especially Jamie Oliver and Nigella’s cooking shows. I love Jamie Oliver’s style of cooking – always so spontaneous and energetic! On the other hand, Nigella’s style of cooking is more laid-back, but she’s always capable of…
Asian Braised Pork Ribs
Look at the glistening sauce! It’s been a while since I last shared a savoury dish! I actually made this dish more than 1 month back, when I was browsing for lunch ideas (as usual haha). I chanced upon this recipe at one of my favourite foodies’ blog – Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids….
Auntie Ruby’s Char Siew (Asian BBQ Pork) – the Easy Way
Char siew (aka cha siu, cha shao, char siu) is a type of BBQ pork dish in which long strips of boneless pork are marinated in a mixture of maltose, five spice powder, red fermented beancurd, dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce and lots of red food colouring. They are then skewered and grilled in a…
Surprise! Potato Surprise Meatballs and an Award
I swear, these meatballs are revolutionary. If you have never been a fan of meatballs – these meatballs will change your perception of them and your whole world. You will fall head over heels in love with these juicy, herby and tasty little things. And why, you ask? Purely because there’s a surprise in these…
Jamie Oliver’s Meatball-Tomatoes Cheesy Bake
I was watching TV a few weeks back and one channel was re-playing one of Jamie Oliver’s old cooking series – Oliver Twist. Jamie whipped up a baked meatballs-tomatoes dish for his pals that looked really delicious, so I immediately decided to give this recipe a go. I tweaked his recipe a little as I…
Baked Chicken-Pork Meatballs
Let’s take a break from all the desserts today, shall we? This post is all about meat, meat and meat! (For non-meat lovers, please don’t worry, the next post will be about something chocolatey and peanut-buttery!) Just imagine – a meatball consisting of minced chicken, minced pork, and smoky bacon mixed with a medley of…
