PongTeh (Nyonya Food)

Have you heard of pong teh? Pong teh is a nyonya food, very popular in malacca. Almost all from malacca know wat's pong teh and tasted it as well. (oh no, i know someone from malacca that haven't tasted it b4. hehe...:p)

It had been quite some time since i last tasted pong teh, can't really find it in kl, not unless u go to those nyonya restaurants..that is why i decided to search for the recipe and try to cook...

I found one pong teh recipe online, but the ingredients and the way to cook doesn't sounds like pongteh. I then asked SH, which her mum is a very good cook, she agak agak told me how her mum cooked..

So combining these two recipes... i created my own. ahahaha... no lar, just combined them together lor.. Ingredients you need...

shallots, sliced
dried chili
brown sugar
soy bean paste
cinnamon stick

pork stew

stir fry shallots and garlic in hot oil

add in dried chili, soy bean paste, brown sugar
and stir fry till fragrant.

add in pork and cinnamon stick.

add in dark soy sauce, soy sauce and
water.

pour in cornflour mixture & served.

well, actually this totally doesn't look like the pongteh i used to eat. The looks is not the same, the taste is not the same as well. I wanted to add in potato, but i forgot. and i do belief that i missed out something else too. But anyway will keep trying to get the real pongteh recipe. Luckily this so called pongteh doesn't taste bad too!! :p
