Stewed meat, mushrooms, eggs and intestines

Stewed meat, mushrooms, eggs and intestines

This is my favourite dish. Once the intestines are thoroughly cleaned, subsequent cooking procedure is easy.

 

Ingredients

 

750 gm big intestines (cleaned and blanched)

700 gm lean pork (cut into 4 big pieces)

5 big shiitake mushrooms (soaked, rinsed and remove the stalks)

3 slices of ginger

8 cloves of garlic

2 cloves

2 star anise

5 cm cinnamon stick

5 hard boiled eggs (de shelled)

 

Sauces

 

5 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp dark caramel sauce

1 ½ tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp vegetable oil

 

Procedure

Blanch big intestines and pork in hot boiling water for 3 minutes.

Heat a pot. Add oil.

Low heat, saute ginger till lightly brown. Add garlic and all the spices.

Add intestines, pork and shiitake mushrooms. Add soy sauce and dark caramel sauce. Mix well. Add a little bit of hot boiling water. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes with lid on, stirring occasionally. Add another 200ml of hot boiling water. Simmer for an hour with lid on, add oyster sauce and hard boiled eggs. Cook intestines and meat until tender (stirring occasionally).

Add more soy sauce to taste.

Leave to sit in the gravy overnight. Heat up before serving.
