Sweet Honey Meat (Repost)

Hi there,

This particular recipe is requested by Alan. At the same time I would like to put it in writing so that the children and grandchildren will have a record of some of the comfort food that mummy used to cook.

Firstly, this recipe can be used for all kinds of meat.  After the meat has been cleaned and cut into the required and manageable size, add in the ingredients and mix well. Leave it for a while. It is not necessary to leave for a long time.
The ingredients used are:
 (1) soya sauce (a good type will enhance the flavour and the taste of the meat),
 (2) pepper ( a good type is preferred, or you can use the grinder for fresher taste), and
 (3) sugar ( mummy used 4 tablespoon for a dish for the whole family, depending on individual taste).

(a)Mummy started with "York Gan", the piece of lean pork that is situated at the back of the pig. This meat is a bit tough and so you need to tenderise it by pounding it with an aluminium mallet. Then add in the ingredients.
(b)Another type of pork is the "Mui York", which is more tender and you don't need to pound it. Just slice the meat. Then add in the ingredients.
(c)You can also use chicken  for this recipe. Cut up the chicken into manageable sizes, not too big. Then add in the ingredients.
(d) Beef. Mummy doesn't like beef nor mutton, so I am afraid you have to experiment it for yourself, and let me know, so that I can include them in this record. I suppose you can also use deer meat, ostrich meat, rabbit meat and any kind of meat that you can lay your hands on.

Method:
Heat up the wok and pour in some oil.  Put in some chopped garlic (I love to eat the chopped garlic coated with the caramel).  Before the garlic turns brown, pour in the prepared meat onto the wok and stir with the spatula. This is to prevent the meat from sticking on the wok. Then just before the ingredients dry up, stir and coat the meat with the caramel, and let it burnt a bit for extra flavour. Scoop up the meat and serve.
If you are going to try out this dish, please let me know how it turned out.

P.S. Mummy says that you could add a bit of Worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrins) for a better and more flavourful taste. I agree.
