Having had pork dishes from Cutler & Co, Rose Garden and our friend, Wendy, I thought it will be good to end this weekend with pork for dinner cooked by me!
I went to Sambal Kampong in the middle of the week for lunch and had a similar dish. So I decided to make it for dinner and as a lunchbox special. Very simple and easy dish to cook. 
Minced pork with eggplant & long bean
Ingredients (Serves up to 8 people)
- 1 kg minced pork (get some pork shoulder and mince it – need some fats in this dish)
- 3 middle sizes eggplants
- 750g long beans
- Garlic & fresh red chillies
- Dried baby shrimps
- 2 tbs Chinese Shaoxing wine
- 1.5 tbs mirin
- 2 tbs black vinegar
- 2 tbs light soya sauce
- Pinch of salt & many turns of white pepper
Method:
- Heat up 2 tbs of peanut oil in wok and add chopped garlic, red chillies & dried baby shrimps
- Brown the minced pork and add both eggplant & long bean and stir and mix it through
- Add the black vinegar, soya sauce, shaoxing wine & mirin. Season well!
- Allow the dish to simmer in the liquid mixture and pork juices until eggplant & long bean is cooked through
- Add more white pepper if required. Serve with hot steaming rice
I may just have a fried egg & a drizzle of black soya sauce on rice with this dish tonight! Simple pleasures in life. And another weekend filled with great food & company. What else can a girl ask for?

I have also just discovered your blog and am enjoying it, though it makes me yearn for Singapore. However we make the best of what we have available.
Thanks for dropping by. There is many produce here that we can get and cook. I love the food back in Singapore but over here, it allows me to tastes different cultures as well. We can always indulge till we burst when we go back!
