This Peranakan Satay Babi dish was specially cooked by my 90 years old mother recently. I just assisted and in the process learned how to cook a new Peranakan dish. This is not your typical satay barbecued over charcoal fire.

This simple meal is one of many Peranakan (Nyonya) comfort foods that goes very well with steaming hot rice. Pork loin cut thinly and marinated in a mixture of spices for a few hours and simmered in coconut milk. The result is a fragrant tender pork dish covered in flavourful rich spice sauce. You can also substitute with chicken meat like chicken fillet or wings.
