Pai Kut Ong


This dish has got the same name as my previous entry but its not spareribs. Usually people will cook this with spareribs but instead of spareribs i opted for some lean meat. It makes cookin easier and also less the saturated fats!

I chose to slice the meat to a moderate thickness and in the form of a rectangular shape instead of a squarish shape. The thickness of the slices should be moderate and not too thinly sliced.

Before frying the sliced meat, i marinated it with rice wine, light soy sauce, black pepper, sugar and cornflour since i dont have any bakin soda available at home. Leave it to marinate for a few hours. Dip the sliced meat into beaten eggs before fryin it. I used only the yolk instead of the whole egg. Repeat the same process for the rest of the slices.

Once i was done fryin the meat, i fried some sesame seeds in a non-stick pan. Fryin the sesame seeds will give it a more distinctive and aromatic taste when you bite into it. Fry till its golden brown and set it aside. 

For the gravy, i used tomato ketchup, maggie seasoning (no more Worcestershire sauce left), sugar and water. Cornflour can be added to help thicken the sauce but i omitted this for i was preparing the sauce under a very low fire and stirring it occasionally till it thickens. Before serving it, toss it some sesame seeds and add the fried sliced meat and coat it thoroughly. You can sprinkle some sesame and a twig or two of coriander leaves and you're good to go!
