Braised Pork Belly

use the dark soya sauce and black vinegar for this pork dish that he's planning to cook for dinner as we have not tried these products before..

He saute some ginger, onions, crushed garlic and spices with 2 tablespoon of oil

Pour in 2 cups of water ...

add 3 tablespoons of light soya sauce and a table spoon of black vinegar...

and three tablespoons of thick soya sauce...

Add in a bottle of chicken essence...

Lastly gently place the pork into the pot and make sure you add enough water to cover the meat...let it simmer till the pork is as tender as you like.  Add some water if the sauce gets too little as you simmer. Add corn starch mixture to thicken the sauce.  Cut the pork into bite sizes before plating.

Tuck in! So delicious with rice and also with steamed buns:D

I used the Premium Oyster Sauce to stir fry kale to go with the meal...the sauce really does makes a huge difference in taste! It was consumed in no time by the boys who don't like vegetables much!
