Braised Meat, Tofu or Eggs
Every Southeast Asian and Chinese family has a version of this. This is our comfort food, and it does not matter if you are Singaporean, Thai, Vietnamese or Cambodian. You will know this dish. It is amazing and always the thing to serve when you’ve got no more idea what to do.
Use any meat, any kind of intestines, any tofu, or eggs. It can be vegan, it can be carnivorous. Flexible and great! My recipe is simple delicious and quick to prepare.
Five spice powder is commonly used. The five spices are: cinnamon, star anise, szechuan pepper, cloves and fennel. You can either use the store bought five spice powder or dry fry these in equal portions and then stew the meat with that. Of course, the latter give a far more aromatic dish.
