 SINGAPORE BAK KUT TEH



When I miss home, I cook stuff that I can't get here. This is one of them. Just 4 main ingredients. Add water, boil it till the meat almost fall off the bone and it's done. Serve it with a bowl of rice, cut chilli and dark soy sauce and you have a fantastic meal! And on a cold day? You'll be in heaven if u have that on the table! 


Ingredients

500g pork ribs 

3 whole garlic 

1 tablespoon whole white pepper 

1 tablespoon chicken stock 


Method 



Blanch the pork ribs in hot water till the color turns and remove the ribs 

In a hot pot with a little oil, cook the garlic till it's just a little burnt 

Add the pepper into the pot and let it cook till aromatic 

Put the ribs in the pot, add 3 big bowls of water and let it boil for about 2hrs, adding water when necessary 

After 2hrs, you should have about enough water in the pot for a full bowl of soup for 2 

Pick the ribs out of the pot and put it in a bowl 

Pour the remaining liquid into the bowl with the ribs, leaving the garlic and pepper in the pot 



 

Garnish with corriander leaves and u have an excellent bowl of Bak Kut Teh! 



A steaming hot bowl of rice makes an excellent accompaniment to this, and to take it to another level, put some cut chillies in some dark soy sauce, mix it, pour a little into the rice and drizzle some pork lard on top....... Man! You'll never get a better combo for Bak Kut Teh than this! 


Ok, it's time for me to enjoy this! Try it! 


Enjoy everyone, and stay safe!

These recipes are good for those who want to cook for one or two without going all out but still wanting to enjoy good food. Simple to prepare and tasty food every time!

  CHAR SIU Now, just look at thise yummulicious goodness! Yes, it can be made at home too! In your oven toaster! you read it right! Oven toaster! That's how I make my char siu for one! The secret is all in the marinade, and I normally make enuf to marinade at least 1kg of meat, but after making the marinade, cook it for a while, till it boils and all the sugar is melted and it can be kept for months in the fridge. If u need to use it in small portions, follow the method below. Good enuf for a plate of wantan and charsiu noodles.
