Here is it another children recipe for you today. This one takes only 5 easy steps to make. I love to serve it with sweet plum sauce. My younger cousins loved to help me in the kitchen but not something dangerous, like knife and hot pan. When they get participated with their food, they always ate them all and ask for more.

 

I think it’s really fun to be with the young children. They are so funny and always excited to learn new things. I just had to show them something like “wow filling up water bottle was so much fun”. Then, I cut off one of the shores I had to do and the children were having fun. A year or two later, they found out that I didn’t want to do filling up the bottles with drinking water so I tricked them… haha :)

I don’t know why I always present fatty foods, maybe they are the kinds of food that I really like. This Sweetened pork I always had with rice mixed with shrimp paste. Sliced sour mango, coriander, red chili peppers, and red onion will also go along with it very well. Sometimes, I just had it with rice and soy sauce. However, I can’t stand eating it everyday as it is too sweet.

 

Next time I will introduce you salted pork.

Fat from pork is a favorite food for some Thai people. My friends from next door loved to eat it so much. On someone birthday, we always ordered pork BBQ restaurant to deliver us and eat at home with friends (In Thailand, we call it Korean BBQ). We put pork fat on the top of the pan so pork won’t stick to it. My friend, the oldest girl, loved to burn the fat and eat it with spicy and sour sauce. I ate it too.. haha :) She was also the same girl that added 3 tbsp. full sugar in the noodle soup and I first did that when I ate with her.

Since then I loved to put a lot of sugar in my soup but after a while I stopped eating pork fat because I didn’t like it anymore, just ate it in a special occasion which I want to see someone make disgusting face. :p haha

Joy \(^v^)/
