Hochiak's pork leg hoi sin stew

I was browsing thru Hochiak's website today, and since I was defrosting the pork since this morning, I thought of trying his pork leg hoi sin stew.

Ingredients

• 1 whole pork leg (preferably hind leg. Ask your butcher to cut into chunky pieces with skin intact)
• 3 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
• 5 pieces dried chilli (soaked to soften, say for 2 hours)
• Large pot of water to boil
• Warm water
• 1 tablespoon palm oil
  

Seasoning (combine into a bowl)

• 2 tablespoon sweet hoi sin sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 4 pieces salted plum
• 1 tablespoon dark soya sauce
• 1 tablespoon chinese cooking wine
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt

Method

Bring water in large pot / wok to boil. Add pork leg and allow the pork leg to cook in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pork leg from water and drain.

Heat up oil in wok on medium heat. Saute garlic till aromatic.

Before the garlic turns dark brown, add pork leg and dried chilli and turn up heat to high. Add combined seasoning and stir well to coat the pork leg.

Then, either transfer pork leg into a smart cooker / rice cooker or suitable pot, fill up water to just cover the pork leg and allow it to stew on medium low heat for at least 1 hour. If you have charcoal stove, the better. Allow gravy to reduce to your prefered thickness.

Just imagine, the taste of the soft pork meat and fat filling your mouth. Wah.... hochiak !
