Today, I didn't cook. My dad did, and he made his signature, "Emperor Pork." He would always cook this dish whenever we demanded. It's a traditional Chinese dish that he grew up with, but has a slight Malaysian twist to it with the Kecap Manis (Sweet Soy Sauce). Kecap Manis is soysauce that has been boiled down and sweetened with palm sugar. You can get this at most Asian markets nowadays, or you can find it on amazon.com Find Kecap Manis on Amazon.com. If you don't want to go through the trouble of doing this you can just use 50 mL of dark soysauce with 30 gm of brown sugar.
It is a fairly simple dish to make, and it is sooo delicious on some white rice! It's sweet, salty, sour and very delicious! The preserved mustard is a very common sight at Asian markets, just be sure to ask the local storekeeper, because most probably, it won't be translated into English. The preserved mustard are the leaf of the mustard plants, that have been drenched in salt in the packaging process to preserve it, giving it a unique sour and salty taste. Be sure that you rinse it very well before adding it to your dish otherwise your dish will come out very salty!
Here is what my dad calls, "Emperor Pork"!
