is how i seem to live my life. i don't think i've ever had a period in my life since i was 14 where i have not had things in boxes. and before i get everything out of the boxes (which admittedly, can be quite awhile) it's time for me to move again.
my family's getting ready to move out into our new house in ara damansara soon... as soon as the renovations are over.
just as well, most of my things are STILL in boxes since i moved back to KL one and a half years ago! =p
whilst packing, i came across a recipe my stepmum's brother wrote for me. one of my absolute favourite chinese dishes - vinegared pork trotter or chu keok shin. he makes a killer vinegared pork trotter. i better archive it here before i lose the piece of paper. it's just too precious.
Vinegared pork trotter (one big pot enough to feed half an army)
Ingredients:
1 bottle of vinegar
500 ml of water
2-3 pcs of gula melaka
750g of local ginger
2kg pork trotter
a few dashes of soy sauce
dried chillies optional
scotch whisky optional
a few dashes of soy sauce
dried chillies optional
scotch whisky optional
Directions:
Blanch the trotters in boiling water for a couple of minutes to get rid of all the yucky scum. Then bruise the ginger with a good smacking and fry it in sesame oil to get the flavours going.
Throw the trotters in and add in a dash (or a few) of scotch and flame the muthas. Not recommended if you have never tried this before. I won't be held responsible for any fires caused by this recipe. Fry the trotters til they're slightly browned.
Pour in the vinegar and water then bring it to a boil for 5-10 minutes. Throw in the gula melaka, chillies, soy sauce and voila! Let it simmer away for a few hours til the meat is ready to fall off the bones and melt in your mouth.
YUM YUM!!
