Home Cooked BBQ Pork Belly And Salted Fish Beansprout.

It was home cooking day again. Last week, I had this last piece of frozen pork belly in my freezer and I have forgotten what I wanted to cook with it. I finally decided to cook it BBQ style. I used whatever ingredients I have available in my fridge to create my own BBQ version. Lol!

First I sliced the pork belly into slices and marinated the meat slices with a special sauce. I can't quite remember but I think I used oyster sauce, sugar, honey, dark soya sauce for colouring, red fermented bean curd (nam yee), etc. I left the meat in the fridge to marinate for a few hours.

When it was time to prepare dinner, I took out the meat from the fridge, laid the meat slices in a baking tray and cook them in the oven with approx. 200 deg. C. with the oven fan on. I am not sure for how long but I was keeping watch over the meat. I didn't want the meat to be overcooked and dry or get burnt. My cooking is all "agak-agak", estimation only. My recipe is forever changing.
 The cooked pork belly taken from the oven and placed on a serving plate.
 Whatever remaining thick sauce in the baking tray, I transferred onto the pork belly slices. Coated with the thick sauce, the meat slices taste wonderful and delicious. Good thing I cooked just enough rice for hubby and myself and no extra or I would be tempted to go for 2nd helping.
 I bought some taugeh or beansprout from the nearby mini market and stir fried the beansprout with some crispy fried salted fish. We love crunchy beanspout that is not overcooked.

I found these posters in a food court. I like the top picture of the green van. What was once common is now considered a priceless treasure.


But this precious treasure -
this light and power that now shine within us -
is held in a perishable container, that is, in our weak bodies.
Everyone can see that the glorious power within
must be from God and is not our own.
(2 Corinthians 4:7, The Living Bible-TLB)

  7. Love your comments on priceless treasures! Your BBQ pork looks so good! BBQ is HUGE here, there are BBQ places everywhere, and most people have a grill outside so they can BBQ at home. Our next door neighbor even BBQ's outside in deep snow! I bet yours is better than all of them!

    1. Ha ha...Irene, instead of using pork belly, you can use the leaner meat e.g. yu mui, etc.
