Another typical Asian dish that I always cook and IK loves it. With this dish, the best thing about it is the black pepper sauce. Often now and then, when ever I’m late from work or purely lazy, I would cook this dish to fill the night’s starvation. I love pork steak, I think they taste lovely in a way. Although many people don’t like it, it is fine to always get a substitution, chicken fillet or chicken steaks. Pork steak tends to be much more tougher in texture than chicken and beef, hence the tenderising method is very handy in this dish. Black pepper sauce can be found in any Asian grocery shops. It comes in a can and it is literally my best friend! I use it for a lot of the dishes.
You’ll need (Serve 2):
- 4 Pork Steaks
- 40ml cold water
