Po Po's Babi Chin

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g pork belly
  • 250 g lean pork
  • 1 tin bamboo shoots
  • 15 shiitake mushroom
  • 10 small shallots
  • 5 tbsp coriander powder
  • 5 tbsp soybean paste
  • 8 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Cut the pork belly and lean pork into large chunks.
  • Place the pork in a bowl and mix with the coriander powder, bean paste, dark soy sauce, sugar, and salt.
  • Chop the shallots, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. Stir-fry until fragrant.
  • Add the pork to the pot. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the outer surface of the pork loses its raw pink colour and absorbs some of the aromatics.
  • Pour in enough water to just cover the ingredients. Stir to combine.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with more dark soy sauce, sugar, or salt if needed.
  • Once the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened, turn off the heat.
  • Serve hot with rice, and sambal belacan on the side if you like.
