Curry Pork ribs


It's been quite a while since I cooked curry.  So, managed to squeeze in this for dinner .... simple, just cook the curry, rice and blanch a vegetable and dinner is ready.





I used only 100 gm of this A+1 meat curry paste because it's fiery!





No coconut milk for this curry, used sugarless soymilk instead and if I didn't disclose, the people at the dining table didn't realise it!

Recipe for Curry Pork ribs

Ingredients
  • 600 gm pork ribs - cut into about 2.5 inch lengths
  • 600 gm Russet potatoes - peeled and cut
  • 100 gm A+1 curry paste for meat
  • 180 gm shallots
  • 5 pips garlic
  • 2 lemon grass - crushed
  • 500 ml Yeo's sugarless soymilk
  • 1 cup water
  • Some curry leaves
  • 2 star anise
  • a small piece of cinnamon stick
  • Salt and light soya sauce to taste
Preparation
  1. Wash and blanch the pork ribs in a pot of boiling water to remove scum, rinse in cold water, drain and set aside.
  2. Blend together the shallots and garlic.
  3. Stir-fry the curry paste with the blended ingredients, toss in the fresh curry leaves, star anise and cinnamon stick.
  4. Add in the blanched pork ribs, a cup of water and let it cook for about 30 mins., stirring occasionally to prevent it from drying up.
  5. When the pork ribs are a bit soft, add in the potatoes together with the soymilk.

  7. Add salt and light soya sauce to taste.
  8. Dish out and serve hot with plain rice, bread or roti canai.

    These really look delicious! I seldom cook with curry and will have to try it again. Do they have a strong curry taste?

    I too like cooking curry with soymilk or evoporated milk. They taste just as good. This dish kind of reminds me of home. My mom love cooking curry with pork ribs too but hers was more watery and with loads of vegetables in it.

    I just made chicken curry dish yesterday! I made extra for other recipes too. Frankly, haven't taken any pork curry for a very long time! People here, they usually make wild boar curry coz the meat is cheaper!

    You are most welcome!

    You mean the curry paste or the curry dish itself? To me, it's fragrant but I added the curry leaves, star anise and cinnamon to give added fragrance and flavour.

    Mary
    My doors are always open for you!

    Haven't tried with added veggie, think should be ok too, wholesome!

    Oh, wild boar curry is nice, quite difficult to get it here.

    I find this curry paste satisfactory. Think the factory is in Jln Tasek.

    They have curry paste for fish and another other for meat. It's quite popular here.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge. Snow Swallow Dessert  ~   天然野生雪燕 Ingredients 8 gm Snow Swallow gums 10 gm red dates 10 gm goji berries 20 gm dried longan Rock or piece sugar to taste 1 litre water Pandan leaves (optional) Method Soak the Snow Swallow gums in plenty of water for at least...

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
