Salted

I learnt this recipe from my mum. I love stir fried pork belly with salted fish as it was flavourful and goes so well with rice and plain porridge. 


I got some salted mackerel fish from my mum not long ago. I don't really fancy eating this type of salted fish (as it is) so I decided to use it up for this recipe. Thanks mum for giving me some of your salted fish. Lol. 



Ingredients:

Pork belly, about 500g

Salted mackerel fish, about 2 -3 tbsp 

Ginger, sliced finely or shredded

Water to boil the pork belly 

Salt 

Cooking oil, about 2 tbsp 

Dashes of dark soy sauce (optional)


Methods:

1. In a pot of boiling water, add in the pork belly. Let it cook. Drain and cut to small slices once it has cool down. 

2. In a pan, add in the cooking oil. Once heated up, add in the ginger. Stir fried till fragrant and turn browner.

3. Add in the pork belly. Saute for a while before adding salt to taste. 

4. Mince or pound the salted fish. Then add the salted fish to the pan.  If you like the dish to be darker in colour, then can sprinkle few dashes of dark soy sauce to it. Mix well and let the dish cook for a while before dish out.

I love this dish. We will cook our own sometimes and even when eating out, we may order it as well - usually served with dried chili and lots of onions in a claypot.

This dish goes very well with rice. The salted fish must be very fragrant.
