I defrosted a strip of siew yoke (roasted pork) which had been sitting in the freezer. I could have put it into the oven to heat up but I find that it tends to get a bit dry.
Usually this is what I would do with fresh roasted siew yoke with crispy skin :
1. Eat neat from the styrofoam box. Heaven!
2. Make Siew Yoke Kerabu
3. Make Roasted Pork Salad
4. Pair it with Strawberries
Then I remembered seeing recipes that use leftover siew yoke and one that stood out was the one that is stir fried with leeks.
So that's what I did with it. I did not refer to any recipes because I figured that I can't go wrong with garlic, light soya sauce and oyster sauce.
The siew yoke by itself was already full of flavors. So this makes for a very quick and easy stir fry. I also added a few slices of red chilies since I had some in the fridge.

Eat siew yoke with strawberries really surprised me! I got some siew yoke from my mom too and I just simply stir fried them with soy sauce and dark soy sauce :P
ReplyDeleteI made into strawberry salad and it was good :)
DeleteThat's what I would do with leftover siew yoke too. In fact, whenever I see this dish...with either siew yoke or lap cheong....at "chap farn' stalls...I will take....but those have more leeks than meat (unlike yours, haha!) ;D
ReplyDeleteUsually it's quite rare to find leftover siew yoke at my house hee..hee..
DeleteMy favourite! Siew yok chau suen! When my mum or mil cooks this, I'll jump like a happy baby! I'll cook stir-fry veggies with leftover siew yok, or fry rice with them.. But with suen, I can eat a lot (even though I don't like veggies), suen is special punya, haha..
ReplyDeleteMe too very like suen. If fry with prawns also best!
DeleteLeeks and roast pork are a marriage in heaven (at least to me, it is).
ReplyDeleteWell, to me too hee..hee...
DeleteI will go without the red chilies, as i don't eat this type of chilies, hehe....
ReplyDeleteNo? For me and especially for my missus, the more the better!!! She even uses cili padi sometimes!
DeleteI love chilies, so I put lots!
DeleteI love leek. Usually fry with prawns or lap cheong and egg but roast pork would be great!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, leeks fried with prawns is fantastic!
DeleteI always loved anything with siew yoke! Best if roasted till skin is crispy hard & crunchy!
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed by the number of things sitting inside your freezer like a bank's vault. Can you snap a photo to show us other loots before they all expire?? Muahahahaha
I actually wanted to do a post on treasures from my freezer hah..hah..
DeleteThis is my spouse's favourite dish! Leeks and siew yoke!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very easy dish to cook and I love it!
DeleteHi Phong Hong, great minds think alike. This dish is my late FIL's favourite. So nice with a bowl of plain porridge. Just bought some leeks for stir like yours but I am using pork belly syabu-syabu.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy! Wah...using pork belly syabu-syabu must be very ho chiak!
DeleteHi Phong Hong,
ReplyDeleteI've ever stir-fried roasted pork with leeks but my big kids didn't like leeks so I've to use french beans, asparagus or kai lan. I would definitely prefer leeks ... yours so yummy!
Hi Karen! Yes, with other veges also very good. I also want to try it with french beans.
DeleteYeah, you can't go wrong with garlic, soy sauce and oyster sauce. This is how the restaurants do it also (minus the MSG lah of course). If my mom, she will also add onions >.<
ReplyDeleteHah! I also wanted to add onions initially but I thought that would make it too oniony since leeks come from the same family. I want to high 5 your mom :D
DeleteI don't like leeks
ReplyDeleteOops!
