Braised Pork Belly Slices & Steamed Okra

The weather forecast warns of thunderstorm usually in the afternoon. Most times, there will be thunderstorm but usually in the late afternoon or evening. Our mornings are usually sunny and warm.

One of the morning skys.

Fruit of labour from my garden.
3 green brinjals (eggplants), 1 red okra (ladies finger) and 1 tomato.
No more worms in the tomatoes after wrapping them with recycle plastic bags.
This is the Grand Roma Round tomato.
Since the tomatoes ripen one or two at a time, I eat them raw, fresh from the garden.
~~~~~
Home cooked dinner for 2.
Initially, I wanted to make deep fried pork belly slices with the above braised pork belly. I changed my mind after frying a few pieces in the oil. The oil was splattering all over that I have to cover the pan. In the end, I steamed the pork belly slices and served with garlic crisp.
I used Thai sweet chili sauce as dipping sauce for the steamed pork belly. For the green, I steamed long green okra (ladies fingers) from my garden and topped with garlic oil and crunchy chili oil.
Home grown tomato to be eaten raw.
Love the fresh juicy and succulent thick flesh of the tomato.

And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts,
living within you as you trust in him.
May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love;
and may you be able to feel and understand,
as all God's children should, how long, how wide, how deep,
and how high his love really is;
and to experience this love for yourselves,
though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or
fully know or understand it.
And so at last you will be filled up with God himself.
(Ephesians 2:17-19, The Living Bible-TLB)

  4. We'll just boil the pork belly, add a bit of salt and msg...and then slice thinly and eat. Simple and nice. We may cook stewed pork with it too, don't think we ever fried it. Will splutter a lot, that's for sure.

  7. Do you both eat all the Braised Pork Belly Slices including the skin full of collagen goodness? The skin looks crunchy and bouncy. I love to eat Steamed Okra and raw tomatoes. Your home grown ones must taste extra good.
