An age old recipe of beehoon with stewed pork leg

I was at this old sundry shop in Pulau Tikus the other day and they have rows and rows of canned stewed pork leg with mushroom and chestnuts. I normally like to stay away from these foods due to the fatty content and whatever they put into it. However, there was this old lady who bought it and she told the shop about frying beehoon. So, I thought…hhmmmmm…she is this old, so healthy so a little bit of indulgence can’t be that bad, right?

I also got myself a can. It is very easy to fry beehoon with them.

Ingredients:

1 canned stewed pork leg with mushroom

*After opening, I put the can into the freezer for a few mins and the fats will coagulate into a thick layer of white fats. Throw them away and the gravy will be less oily

2 pieces of beehoon, soaked in water to soften.

1 quarter of a cabbage, slice finely

1 handful of oyster mushroom

2 stalks of sawi

A few pips of garlic, chopped

Method:

Heat wok and put in a little oil to stir fry the garlic till fragrant. Add in all the ingredients. Normally, the gravy from the pork leg is enough to flavour the beehoon. Otherwise, add some soya sauce for extra taste. If the beehoon is too dry, add a bit of water.

Serve with some cut cili padi. Nice!

My personal favourite is the Gulong brand as they seem to put more ‘manufacturing standard’ to convince me that they don’t add nitrate as preservatives. But as usual, all these aren’t very healthy, so don’t indulge too often, ok?

    My gigi are itching for canned pork leg. You smart woman, freezing the can to “extricate” gooey lemak is a great idea.
