Yeong Taufu I

Yeong Taufu Part I.. this is one of my favourite yeong taufu: the Brinjal/Eggplant or so called Aubergine in the western countries.

Ingredients: Yeong Taufu I

Minced fish/minced pork

Brinjal

Seasoning:

pepper

salt

light soy sauce

eggwhite

2 tbs cornflour

Method:

Mix the seasonings into the minced meat and mix thoroughly. As for the brinjal, cut into sections and for each sections cut a slit in between so the minced meat can be filled into it. Next, deep fry the brinjal until the brinjal white layer turns dark brown. Part I of Yeong Taufu can be served! =)

Roast Pork

Ingredients:

4 strips of pork belly(of the above size)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp garlic powder or mince garlic
2 tsp five spice powder
2 tsp pepper
2 tbs oil
vinegar mixed with a lil water

Method:

Boil the vinegar and water. Layer it on the pork belly skin only. Fry the salt, garlic powder. five spice powder and pepper for awhile. Add in sugar into the mixture. Rub the mixture on bottom layer of the pork belly. On a plate, with the pork belly skin facing upwards, leave in the fridge overnight to marinade it. Next, turn on the oven to around 230ºC, rub the skin with oil and bake it for around 20mins. Turn on the grill to medium, grill the pork belly skin till it is not too charred. This takes around less than 5mins depending on the heat. Check it regularly. Sprinkle some salt on the crispy skin to have some saltiness. Cool, cut into small pieces and serve. Have fun and enjoy~ Careful when handling ovens. =)
