lohbak which my dad buys for us..

One of my favorite foods is lohbak. It’s basically strips of seasoned pork wrapped in a ‘soy based’ skin/wrapping and deep fried. I can remember my mum and aunt preparing this dish when I was a kid. They would slice the pork into strips, season with salt/pepper and 5 spice powder then wrap them in the soy wrapping and deep fry them. Quite tedious and time consuming, which is why I remember my mum making it only once in a while.

 

I’ve eaten other lohbaks but this is one of the better ones that I’ve tasted. Some make it with minced pork but I feel using pork strips is better. It gives it a harder texture with more “crunch”. Minced pork makes it “soft”.

My dad normally buys 10 pieces for us. I do not know the exact location of the shop but i know its at mt erskine.
