Only eat crab n shrimp for special occasions.
I cooked tonite a favouritte family recipe yam braised roast pork in fermented red bean paste.time consuming.deep fry yam rubbed with 5 spice powder.then place in bowl with sliced roast pork n simmer in red bean curd paste over slow fire for 2 hours until yam melts in the mouth.my grandma n moms comfort food for festivals n my blind elder sister loves my version as i put in lots of rice wine.i also added smoked pork loin so its different from traditional yam pork belly but my son says taste better than grandmas cooking.smoked salted pork loin adds ommph unlike waxed pork which is too hard to melt in the mouth.
