Nevermind the pic above...I'm gonna share with you my proud moment of the day...
Ever since I was little, there was one dish from Ma that I always enjoy eating. Ma will always cook this whenever I'm back in Melaka, provided she has the time. I dunno what you call it, but in Hokkien, we say 'o-bak'. Direct translation = 'fried pork'.
Today, I tried cooking this with guidance from Ma. I chopped some garlic with a small knife (Kiwi brand), 'hantam' some pork with a bigger knife (Kiwi brand), mixed both together, threw in 3 kampung eggs, added some salt, pepper and dark soy sauce. Stirred and meshed them.
Remember to use Kiwi brand knives. Else it won't taste so yummy!!!
***Aiyoyo samy...just kidding laaa dey...hahaha***
If you use city eggs, 2 should suffice :D
I left it there for an hour or so. Went for a walk around my taman, to strengthen my ankle and prepare it for some tough time ahead --> driving to office in a massive jam!!!. My ankle tire easily nowadays, especially after standing there preparing those stuffs today. Therefore I reckoned it needed some due exercise.
Back from my walk...I started frying the marinated pork. All smelled and looked good.
Besides 'o-bak', I prepared another dish --> sambal ikan bilis. Fuhhhh nampak hebat macha ni...ok let me tell you, both the ikan bilis and sambal is from Ma as well...hehehe...you see, everything's ready...all I did was stir-fried them in the wok...but you need some kungfu also laa...you think easy meh...??? hahahaha
Looks good rite?? Sambal ikan bilis was superb...but the main dish...haizzzzz...tasted like my Ma's (jan agreed), but the texture was a bit weird...ish ish...must ask Ma to demo another time...need some fine tuning...hehehe
Dunno whether you perasan not, these 2 dishes are too dry to go with rice!!! Jan asked me, "so dry how to eat??" She offered to cook a simple soup, but I said "no need ler...so late liao..."
Arrrgghhhh!!! I totally forgotten about soup. It was not in my plan at all. In the end, we had to swallow and drink water...LOL
