We were expecting our cousin for dinner tonight but he had to cancel coz he had a call to work in Germany. He was very interested and looking forward to having some Malaysian spicy food, so I had planned to make Pork Sambal Nyonya-style to be served with Potatoes with Yogurt Indian-style with steamed homegrown courgette.. Despite his not coming, I made what I had planned anyways.. 🙂

Preparation:

  1. Heat oil in a wok and gently cook Spice Paste for abt 5 mins till oil rises to surface and paste becomes fragrant.
  2. Add pork, sugar, salt, water and coconut milk. Bring to boil, then simmer gently till oil rises to surface once more.
  3. Serve immediately with plain rice.

It’s easy and quick to prepare; delish too.  It wasn’t as spicy as I thought it would be.  🙂
