fried seasoned minced pork with: 
- water chestnuts, 
- garlic, 
- chilli 
- dark soya sauce. (oyster sauce works as well!)

this is a very home cooked dish that many chinese households and kampongs in sg used to have in the early days. sometimes it's served hot with a squeeze of fresh lime. today i served it 2 ways. first way is as a stir fried dish. second way is to make a thai salad dressing to go with it.
