Nyonya - Pongteh Meat

It was pot luck time and this time it is held at BBO (Sid & Sunny) at their place somewhere in Damansara. I thought what should be nice to make and doesn't take so much time. So this Nyonya dish come across my mind. My aunt once told me it quite simple just put the ingredients in a slow cook then you are ready to be served.

Let get started, the are the ingredients are as follows :
Pork or Chicken (cut about 4-5 cm cubes)
1 tablespoon Preserved soy beans (Miso paste)
1 tablespoon of Coriander powder
1 1/2 dark soya sauce
2-3 piece Star Anise
Potato cut in cubes
Shallots & Garlic - ground or blended
Salt, sugar, pepper for taste

First stir-fry ground paste of shallots and garlic around 2 minutes and then add the miso paste, coriander powder and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the meat and dark soya sauce and continue to stir-fry.

Afterwards add water till it cover the meat, add salt, sugar, pepper and star anise for taste.

When it starts to boil adds the potatoes and then reduces the heat to simmer, stirring occasionally until the meat and potatoes is tender and the sauce thickens. You can also add hard boiled eggs about 5-10 minutes before it is ready to serve.
