This is another Chinese pork belly recipe that is easy to prepare yet tasty and aromatic. Both the pork belly and lotus roots are stewed till the flavours are well absorbed by the ingredients. This dish is quite similar to my earlier posting [Stewed Nam Yee Pork belly With Lotus Roots] with a difference in the flavouring ingredient. Here, preserved soy bean paste [tau cheong] is used instead of nam yee.
Overall, it is a delicious dish, good to serve with piping hot rice. In the original recipe, this is served with fried rice.
Like the earlier dish, this can be prepared earlier and just reheat before serving.
