Hakka Steamed Pork With Yam (Yu Tou Kou Rou)


This is a typical traditional Hakka dish which is quite complicated and time consuming recipe. But I've simplified the recipe by using roast pork and has successfully done it. I brought over to my in-law's place for the Mooncake Festival celebration. Actually, this is also one of my in-law favourites. Not bad as a first timer like me making something like this...he he! This is the only time I could make red meat recipe. I don't cook this very often because my hubby and the kids are not taking red meat. I cook occasionally for my in-law though.

My hubby said the yam is a bit thick. So, the next time I'm going to slice it thin. Next weekend is my in-law's birthday! It's on Deepavali and we actually celebrated her birthday on every Deepavali. Still planning for her birthday cake! Busy busy busy.....
