Stir-fried chicken wings with preserved black bean and capsicums

I have to admit I've been ignoring my blog for the past two weeks. My work, project and thesis writing have been keeping me busy. It is now the critical stage of my Honours year. 2-3 more months to go and I shall be free! or in the other words, I'll be an unemployed fresh graduate that time..wondering around and begging for a job in this competitive world.. Haha...

Since I'll not be an undergraduate anymore after June, I am considering to create another blog and continue my blogging life there.. it'll be more than just a food blog.. I want it to be a place which allows me to blog about my life, traveling experiences and food (of course!).. a place which I can keep in touch with all my friends (whom I seldom meet and chat with~).. no matter where I am or where you are, I'll always miss all of you.. and our sweet and memorable moments together.. Hugsss to all of you.. =p

Pan fried five-spiced pork steak

I negotiated with Jye that I would cook him a nice pork steak if he is willing to eat the carrots and broccoli as side dishes. This is a different way of marinating the pork steak - a fusion of Asian and Western cuisine.

Tender and juicy pork steak~ Yum!

Ingredients:

2 pork steaks
1 carrot - peeled, cubed and blanched
2 potatoes - peeled, cubed and cooked
1 small broccoli - cut into small portions and blanched
low fat yogurt/mayonnaise

Marinade:
Five spice powder
Salt
Black pepper

Method:
1. Rub both sides of the steaks with five spice powder and salt. Sprinkle some black pepper. Leave aside.
2. Mix the potatoes with low fat yogurt or mayonnaise.
3. Heat up some oil in a saucepan. Pan-fry the steaks until cooked.
4. Dish up. Serve with blanched carrots, broccoli and potatoes.
