Ms: Cooking Experiment #1 - Pork Chop Cheese Baked Rice (豬扒芝士焗饭)

One of my recent favourite thing to do in Melbourne is to try new things to cook. During my previous visit here, Mr was the one who did the cooking mostly and I was his assistant but now I've basically taken over his role in the kitchen. I've been promoted to 'sous chef' and Mr is the 'head chef' now. LOL! One day this particular dish appeared in my mind out of nowhere, maybe it's been too long since I had this dish that I really miss it badly. After browsing through a few recipes from the internet I came up with my simplified version without using oven as we only have microwave. 

Ingredients: (for 2 pax)

- 2 rice cups Rice (pre cooked)
- 3 eggs
- 2 piece Pork Meat (opt. for pork loin for lesser fats)
- 1/2 jar Spaghetti Bolognese Sauce (approx. 375g)
- 1 large Onion (cut small)
- Red and Green Capsicum (diced small)
- Cheese

to marinade:

- 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 tbsp Shao Xing Wine
- Salt
- White Pepper
- Black Pepper

Directions:

- Marinade pork chop for at least 1 hour
- Pan fry marinated pork chop until brown on both sides (set aside for later use) 
- Fry the rice and gradually pour in whisked eggs till dry (set aside for later use)
- Heat pan with some oil, fry onions and capsicums till fragrant then add in bolognese sauce
- Put the fried rice into microwave-proof bowls
- Top up with pork chop and pour the sauce on it
- Top up with your favourite amount of cheese
- Put the bowls into microwave for 2 mins and you're done!

Top up with your preferred amount of cheese

Tadaaaaa! 

Conclusion:

- We think that the sauce is slightly too little, it would be better to increase the amount of sauce so that the sauce is able to fully cover the meat and rice. 

- The whole piece of meat on our small bowl is quite hard for us to eat, should have cut it into smaller pieces instead.
