I had a bout of almost a week long diarrhea in December. The doctor said I have to eat soft food which literally means only porridge grrrrr... Don't be wrong, I do like porridge but *gulp* definitely not 2 meals everyday for almost a week! I'm a foodie... how can I eat the same stuff everyday heh???
Sighhh to jazz up the plain white rice porridge (congee), I made some dishes to go with them. Once, I had Steamed Salted Fish with Pork Slices. Sliced tender lean pork thinly then marinade with a dash of soy sauce, pepper, sesame oil and corn flour. Place them on a heat proof plate then topped with salted fish (mine was those bottled in oil found at major hyper/supermart) followed by ginger strips. Steam until cooked (time depending on your portion).
Another time I made Steamed Pork Slices with Pickled Lettuce. I would prefer the usage of tinned pickled lettuce as it's slightly saltier but since the melamine in milk scare I tried not to eat so much of made in China food. So instead, I've used the bottled pickled lettuce by Cheong Chan as the topping. Worked just as well. I liked this a lot!

No lean meat in those dishes for me. 'Sam-chang-yok' or pork belly please!
