Let's cook today!
Here is another day of cooking. Usually, I cook 3 times a week and pack food 2 times a week. Saturday will be eating at Aunt's and Sunday is my rest day. I want to finish using the pork fillet in the freezer, hence another one pot dish.
Pork Slices with Broccoli & Carrot
I notice this is the dish loved by most mothers because it contains protein and also wonderful vegetables. In order to cook fast, I chose basic Chinese stir fry. Easy peasy clean cook!
Steps
First, I diced the onions and garlic. As well as cleaning the broccoli properly by soaking them in baking soda plus salt warm water. Then, rinsed them well.
I also sliced the pork fillet as thin as I could, followed by marinating with soy sauce, oyster sauce and corn flour.
In a pan, heat up the oil, followed by sautéeing the onions and garlic till aromatic. Always, at this point, my youngest son would come to say that it smelled so nice.
After that, I added in the marinated pork slices and continue to stir fry to mix well with the garlic onion oil.
While doing the above steps, I was actually steaming the broccolis and carrots at another steamer pot. This way, the vegetables are already 80% cooked and soften, easier for cooking. I learn this from my Aunt.
So next, would be adding in the steamed broccoli and carrot into to pan of pork slices and stir fry all together.
On another stove, I was cooking a small pot of pumpkin soup too just in case my youngest son needs something soft to eat. Haha, multi-tasking using three stove tops. No photo, though. Already multi-tasking to the max.
After the vegetables mixed well with the pork slices, I added in some water so that this dish wouldn't be too dry for the kids. At this point, I seasoned the gravy with a bit more salt and pepper. If you want it more savoury, you may add in some more oyster sauce or sugar.
Voila! Pork slices with vegetables done!!!
We ate this one-pot-dish with a plate of warm rice. It was super flavourful, the pork slices were soft due to being marinated with corn flour. The vegetables had their natural sweetness. And the gravy was so delicious. My youngest son almost wanted to drink all the gravy as soup. Lol. Then, I packed a lunch box too, so that the eldest son can eat it in the car when we pick him from school. Usually, he will be extremely hungry the moment school ended.
