Tau Yu Bak (Braised Pork in Soy Sauce)

suddenly had craving for Tau Yu Bak.. it really reminds me of someone who is very dear to me whom took care of me since i was young but left to be with the lord when i was 15 yrs old. whenever i visited her she will cook nice food for me to eat, unless she is sick.

really regret not learning some of the food she cooked, as most are my favorites. know what, since she rip, i have not gone to visit her, didn't know where is her resting place. didn't dare to called them whom know where she was..

may god give me the strength to call them one day BUT not too long..

this are the ingredients for Tau Yu Bak (Braised Pork in Soy Sauce)



wat i did 1st was to steam the Chestnuts & boiled the eggs. ps: any amt u wan. BUT its best to buy ready peeled Chestnuts, as it really KILL me peeling the shells, it took me real long time.

Step 1: Cut the Pork Belly into slices, marinated them with pepper, light soy sauce & sugar. leave to rest for abt 5-10 mins.

Step 2: heat the pot, add some oil & fry some chop garlics together with the marinated pork belly.

Step 3: Wash the Mushrooms, shell the Eggs & pull all of them into the pot together with the pork belly. Ps: if you are using dry Mushrooms, do soak them 1st.

Step 4: then put the Pork Belly, Mushrooms, Eggs, Chestnuts & a whole Garlic into the pot, slow cooked them for a few hrs, so that all the favours will go into the ingredients. (Btw, the whole Garlic have to peel them 1st, b4 putting them all in)

Step 5: Done!! ready to eat.. Yummy!! ya i knw it look kinda oily, its becos of the pork belly..
