Pork Giniling

I just had my braces 2 weeks ago and I’m in so much pain.  For the past two weeks, all I had was soup, congee and water.  I’ve been really weak and started to easily get irritated.  Most of all, I miss eating food.  I needed to do something about it so I decided to cook something I can just lightly chew and immediately swallow.  That dish is Pork Giniling.

I like pork giniling to have a lot of sauce so I opted to turn off the heat once I knew that the ground pork is fully cooked and the flavors are already a-ok!  Luckily, I was able to eat the finished pork giniling!  This is my first real meal since 2 weeks ago that I had my braces.  I will have to eat this dish for the whole week.  I cooked a lot so it’s sufficient for my week-long meal.  I have to find a similar dish that I can eat while I’m still adjusting to my braces.  Yay for pork giniling!  It’s also very very simple to cook!
