Yen Can Cook: Minced Meat with Tomato
Like everyone else, there are more days than I would like to admit where I was too tired to be bothered to cook after a hectic day at work. And on these days, I fall back to recipes that are simple and comforting, this braised minced pork with tomato is one of those recipes that I like to prepare. The dish is easy and so delicious served on rice or noodles. I’ll also cook in big batch to keep it in freezer, and it’s definitely your savior when lazy bugs bite or you run out of idea what to cook.
Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)
450g minced pork (can be substituted with chicken)
2 tomatoes, diced
3 shallots, minced

HAPPY COOKING!
yummy! Children will love this dish. And its very appetizing too.
Minced meat is such a versatile ingredient. It can be cooked with so many things (although I’ve never paired it with tomatoes). It’s great for freezing and a saviour when we’re hard-pressed for time to cook. I do that all the time too.
What sweet bean sauce is that? I also love cooking with minced pork, can do macam-macam with it.
