Vietnamese Beef Stew with Ginger

This is a great winter dish which is very very simple to make. When I was small, I always thought that this beef stew is more than complicated, actually we simply simmer all together for several hours, of course the more you cook the longer it will take. Just have to be patient

Here is the recipe for Stewed Beef with Ginger:

Stewed pork shank with hoisin sauce

Traditionally, this dish is made with pork belly, but I happened to find the shank very suitable also. In addition, pork shank contains less fat than the pork belly, which results in an obviously more healthy dish hehe

And traditionally, stewed pork is made only with sugar, fish sauce, salt (and also coconut juice in the South of Vietnam) – this is just my funny experiments using hoisin sauce n a small amount of charsiu sauce. To be honest I have never stewed pork the same way twice And this version is the latest one, made for a friend of mine who is a REAL lazy cook – he’s not so keen on jumping to the kitchen, playing with uncooked ingredients – not like me at all 8-> To be honest, I used my friend as my guinea pig to try my experiment using hoisin sauce haha And luckily he DID like it. My taste also told me that this version is, so far, the best of all / Yay yay / I was so afraid that it may taste weird for other pp Gonna try making this when I come home again In the end I should have some thing as MY original huh? <3

So, here is the recipe for Stewed pork with hoisin sauce:
