Boring week results in Steamed Pork in Pickled Plums

Hmmm, sorry for not updating much this week. I didn't get to cook any new dishes except for a variation to the previous Steamed Pork in Shrimp Paste recipe I've posted before. The main reason was due to half the family not home to eat and not informing earlier... so there was always left overs for the next day's dinner.

On Tuesday, it was Steamed Pork with Pickled Plum ("assam boi") I used 300g pork fillet instead of pork belly this round and sliced them thinly. Marinated with the usual Xiao Shing wine, dash of pepper, salt, sugar, sliced ginger & of course 3 Pickled Plums.

Steam for 15 mins only.

It's the bottled type of Assam Boi. In Cantonese they also call it "Suin Mui". But on the bottle it's calle Pickled Plums.

Tastes sour lor.. so have to reduce to probable 2 biji only.

Will load a photo of the bottle when am home.
