Mui Choy Pork Belly is another of my mum favourite dish. This is a traditional Hakka dish the meat is so tender and flavourful. Different households have their own methods of preparing and cooking this dish. You may use Pork Belly or Wu Hua Rou. Ontop of this I am using a combination of sweet and salted mui choy (preserved mustard green) just to balance so it is not too salty. This savoury sweet and salty dish pairs very well with a bowl of warm or porridge. And even more flavorful afters being cooked for more then 6-8 hours.
