Curry Pork ribs


It's been quite a while since I cooked curry.  So, managed to squeeze in this for dinner .... simple, just cook the curry, rice and blanch a vegetable and dinner is ready.





I used only 100 gm of this A+1 meat curry paste because it's fiery!





No coconut milk for this curry, used sugarless soymilk instead and if I didn't disclose, the people at the dining table didn't realise it!

Recipe for Curry Pork ribs

  • 600 gm pork ribs - cut into about 2.5 inch lengths

  • Some curry leaves
  • 2 star anise

  • Salt and light soya sauce to taste
Preparation
  1. Wash and blanch the pork ribs in a pot of boiling water to remove scum, rinse in cold water, drain and set aside.
  2. Blend together the shallots and garlic.
  3. Stir-fry the curry paste with the blended ingredients, toss in the fresh curry leaves, star anise and cinnamon stick.
  4. Add in the blanched pork ribs, a cup of water and let it cook for about 30 mins., stirring occasionally to prevent it from drying up.
  5. When the pork ribs are a bit soft, add in the potatoes together with the soymilk.

  2. These really look delicious! I seldom cook with curry and will have to try it again. Do they have a strong curry taste?

  4. I too like cooking curry with soymilk or evoporated milk. They taste just as good. This dish kind of reminds me of home. My mom love cooking curry with pork ribs too but hers was more watery and with loads of vegetables in it.

  5. I just made chicken curry dish yesterday! I made extra for other recipes too. Frankly, haven't taken any pork curry for a very long time! People here, they usually make wild boar curry coz the meat is cheaper!

    You mean the curry paste or the curry dish itself? To me, it's fragrant but I added the curry leaves, star anise and cinnamon to give added fragrance and flavour.

    I find this curry paste satisfactory. Think the factory is in Jln Tasek.

    They have curry paste for fish and another other for meat. It's quite popular here.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge. Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy   ~    梅菜焖五花肉 Ingredients  400 gm pork belly cut into bite size 100 gm  preserved sweet mui choy 3 cloves of garlic 2 slices ginger Seasoning for the pork belly 1 Tbsp dark soya sauce 1/4 Tbsp sugar 1/4 Tbsp sesame oil 1/4 Tbsp oyster sauce 1/2 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp light soya sauce Method Season the pork belly for about an hour or more.  Set aside. Soak the mui choy for 45 mins., rinse and squeeze dry.  Cut into slices Heat some oil in the wok, fry the mui choy.  Add in the ginger slices.  Stir-fry. Add in the pork  belly, fry for a while and

Steamed minced Pork with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜蒸猪肉

This is a homey, comforting dish which you can never find on the menu of a Chinese restaurant.  Perhaps you may find it in an economy rice stall.  There are two types of Mui Choy (梅菜) or preserved mustard, one is salty while the other is sweet and in this recipe, I used the latter.  The Mui Choy lends flavour and aroma to the dish and most often is paired with pork, either minced or pork belly chunks.  In this recipe, the minced meat must be with a bit of fat, otherwise the dish will turn out dry and dense.  Give this a try and see whether you like it or not. Steamed Minced Pork with Mui Choy ~  梅菜蒸猪肉  Ingredients  320 gm minced pork with a bit of fat 70 gm sweet mui choy (preserved sweet mustard green) Seasoning for minced pork 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp Shaoxing wine 1/2 tsp light soy sauce 1/2 tsp sugar 1 Tbsp oil 2 Tbsp cornflour 3 Tbsp water Method Marinate the minced pork with the above seasoning and stir the pork in one direction, till sticky.  Set
