As an Omnivore, I will say that pork dishes are my favourite and being raised frugal, I am also taught how to utilize all the parts of the animal since I was young. I can lay claim that I know all the basic skill to utilize all parts of pig from tip of its nose to tail and everything in between, including offal, etc. Being Chinese, it's easy to incorporate everything into our menu and diet, whether daily or only for special occassions.

This time, however, I will discuss one of favorite pork dishes, the PORK STEW. I promised it will be easy, simple and delicious. The dish can be cooked with few variations of meat part and offal or just either part.
This time I am using head meat with just enough fat marble for taste and some tissue muscle for bite. Also just for weird sake and since it is available, I am using a couple of pig heart (yups, the actual blood-pumping heart).

Main Ingredients:

• 2 pig hearts, diced into bite size
• 1 kg head meat, diced into bite size
  all marinated with 1 tbsp of sugar, pepper and Chinese five spices

Spices:

• Garlic, thinly sliced or chopped
• Shallot, thinly sliced or chopped
• Chili peppers, chopped (optional, I like the kick)
• 1 tsp, Ginger Powder
• 1 tsp, Chinese Five Spices
• Pepper & Salt to taste
• 2tbsp, Thick Soy Sauce

Other ingredient:

• Oil for sauteing the spices

pig hearts, diced and marinated.

head meat, diced and marinated

Garlic, shallots and chili peppers, all sliced amd chopped.

Cooking steps:

1. Big fire and heat the wok. Pour oil and put in all the spices like so 👇. Fried till wilted and fragrant, but not brown, only translucent.

1. Pour in the heart pieces and stir awhile.
2. Pour in the meat pieces and stir again.
3. Pour in the spices (hold the salt) and soy sauce.

1. After a rolling boil, turn down the heat and stir once awhile so the meat will not stick to the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer till the meat tender and the water from the meat thickened a bit. I like mine almost caramelized.
2. Then salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
3. Take it off heat and serve steam rice or plain noodle soup.

Since I made a lot, I do batch freezing for more lunches and dinners.

ALTERNATIVE PROTEIN:

• Chicken (shorter cooking time
• Beef Shank (longer cooking time)

Alternative Offal:

• Chicken liver
• Beef liver

Bon Appetit!!
