I cook this dish very often as it's very simple, super tasty and we can eat it for days. The basic ingredients are usually pork, mushrooms, pickled sour mustard, tamarind paste and chili. This is actually a variation of the basic version which I have posted long ago. I added lemon grass, some spices and some leftover dried bok choy which I found in the pantry. This dish is very versatile, you can add whatever random ingredients or leftovers you have. I added a head of Chinese leaves the next day and baked beans the day after. It gets uglier but tastier!

Day 3:
