Glazed Pork Barbecue - an easy potluck party dish




Baked meals are one of my favourites. I love it, when my meal is baking in the oven.....and meanwhile I can do some stuff at that time like clean up or spend some time with my kids in their playtime or study time or even just take a shower. And before I know it, the buzzer is turned off and dinner is ready to be served. 

 It's also great when you're having guests over for a party....and definitely when it's a time you have so many things to do and make and organise. 

 Here's a recipe I made for a potluck Christmas Bash at a dear one's home. And I took my special glazed pork to the party. 

 It's a very simple recipe. I've used this a couple of times with chicken wings, but with pork it was the first time. Well....it came out yumm......everyone enjoyed it and I've been asked to share the recipe. So this post is especially for them. 

 Ingredients: 

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
1-2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp sesame seeds
Salt to taste
1.5 kg of boneless pork cubes
(the balance of the sweetness, saltiness and sourness depends on your personal taste liking) 

 Method:
After the pork cubes are washed and cleaned, wrap it in a kitchen towel for a while, so that there is no water in the meat. This step is important so that there will be no extra liquid in the final dish. 
Place everything except the pork in a broiler-proof baking dish and whisk to combine.

Lay the pork in a single layer in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover, refrigerate, and marinate at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours, turning the pork at least once during the marinating time.

Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 180°C. 

Bake the pork until it starts to turn a dark brown colour, about 40 minutes.
Set the oven to broil about 3 to 5 minutes more. 
Note: If you’re using a glass or ceramic baking dish, do not skip step,where you bring it up to room temperature before baking, or else your dish could crack!

 Well, that's my glazed pork. It's the caramelisation of the brown sugar that gives the glazed appearance. You may sprinkle a bit of dried herbs like basil or parsley on top just before serving. 

 Do try this recipe with chicken wings as well...that's really yummy too.

Crunchy Veggie salad with a thousand island dressing

A salad is one such dish which consists of small pieces of food mixed with a sauce. It may contain virtually any type of ready to eat food. What I like about salads is that we can be so creative with the ingredients which is based around a wide variety of foods like vegetables, fruits, cooked meat, eggs, nuts and leafy greens. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads.  Other types include Mexican bean salad, tuna salad, Lebanese fattoush, Greek salad, Thai Raw Papaya Salad and Japanese somen salad (a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; well-known types include Ranch, Thousand Island, Caesar and French vinaigrette. Salads can be served at any point during a meal such as an appetiser or side dish or as a main course.  Food historians tell us salads (generally defined as mixed green...

Christmas Fruit Cake....and that's what makes it Christmas!!!!

♪ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♪  Come December, and that's the song that goes on in my mind.  Probably the most celebrated holiday in the world, our modern Christmas is a product of hundreds of years of both secular and religious traditions from around the globe.  Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is generally celebrated on December 25th by most of the nations. Christmas celebration starts almost a month before. It includes decorating the houses with colorful lights, stars, etc., decorating Christmas trees and making a small manger. People sing carols rejoicing in the birth of Jesus. They are also busy making goodies to share with friends. Christmas is also called the 'season of giving' and people love to exchange gifts with loved ones and give gifts to the poor. Finally the actual Christmas day is celebrated by wearing new clothes and going to church, bursting fireworks and having a great feast with family. ...

Triple Chocolate mousse

They say that no matter how old you grow, being with your siblings instantly takes you back to childhood. For me, growing up with my younger brother was one of the greatest adventures of my life. We laughed at the silliest things, fought endlessly over the TV remote, teamed up in countless rounds of Contra and Mario, rewatched our favorite movies until we knew every line, and savored delicious meals on our trips to the Gulf. He was, in fact, my very first “Foodie Buddy.” Though the years have passed and life has carried us to different continents, food remains our bond. Even today, amidst the hustle and bustle, our conversations often circle back to what we loved eating as kids and what delights us now. Back then, birthdays were simple—no grand cakes or parties, and we never felt the need. But today, we embrace every occasion with joy, no matter the distance. Whether near or far, we celebrate each other’s milestones with heartfelt gestures. When my brother celebrated his milestone birt...
