Pork with HamChoy and Muknee is a variation of a traditional Hakka Chinese dish that I grew up with in Jamaica.
HamChoy is preserved mustard greens and is a bit salty, in a great way! Muknee is dried wood ear mushrooms or fungus. Here, I used a shredded version.
Seasoning for the pork included garlic, five spice powder, green onions, hoisin sauce, bean sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and a few other things.
To cook it, I tried something a little different. Rather than brown the meat in a bit of oil or use the air fryer, I started by boiling about half an inch of water and then adding the seasoned meat. Yes, you read that right. I boiled it!
After bringing it back to a high boil for about ten minutes, i reduced the heat to medium and then low. Once the meat was tender, I added the hamchoy, and muknee, and let it simmer for a while before thickening the gravy to finish it. Done! Delicious!
