Recipe notes

  • Note that you can skip the first step (frying the pork) and simply combine all the ingredients together and simmer until done. This will still give you the same flavor, but I like you to try frying the pork first. You can try this suggestion on your next attempt and then compare what works for you. I personally like to fry the pork because of the texture that it brings.
  • This is a basic recipe. Feel free to experiment by using other ingredients. I tried adding oyster sauce and it works too.
