Kiam Chai Boey

Circuit Breaker Day 5: Kiam Chai Boey (mustard greens leftover)

This is one of my favourite food. I only get to eat this once a year, during Chinese New Year, cos that's when we'd have plenty of roasted duck/chicken/pork leftovers; perfect ingredients to make kiam chai boey.

Prior to circuit breaker, I bought pickled mustard greens (figured it will last long). Since I didn't have any leftover roasted meat, I used fresh pork instead. Tastes as good. 😋
