Christina's Lemongrass Pork & Chicken Rice

Title: Serves 1

A Peranakan family favourite, brought to your table

Tender pork, gently braised in the aromatic embrace of lemongrass, galangal, and cinnamon, makes this dish a classic of Peranakan cuisine. Known as Sek Bak in Chinese, it’s a dish often shared at Chinese New Year celebrations, loved for its subtle sweetness from caramelised onions and palm sugar. Christina and Olivia’s version captures this warmth and tradition in every bite.

To make it a complete meal, the pork is paired with Olivia and Christina's homemade chicken-flavoured rice, infused with fresh ginger and sesame oil. The result is a fragrant, all-in-one dinner that feels like it’s been simmering away in a family kitchen, yet is ready for you in just minutes.

Made with ❤️ by Christina & Olivia

FAQ's

Christina's recipe follows traditional Peranakan cooking methods passed down through generations. The authentic Sek Bak preparation includes specific Southeast Asian spices like galangal and pandan leaves, plus the signature technique of slow-braising with palm sugar for natural caramelisation. Unlike Chinese red-braised pork or Korean braised pork, Peranakan Sek Bak incorporates lemongrass and is typically sweeter, making it more appealing to children and those new to Asian cuisine.

This dish is not spicy. The flavour comes from fragrant spices like lemongrass, galangal, and cinnamon, balanced with caramelised onions and palm sugar for a naturally sweet profile that children especially enjoy.

    OMG, these curry puffs are absolutely scrumptious. Beautiful pastry, and perfect filling. This is my 1st order from Foodst, and if this is the standard, I'm impressed, and I'll be back for more.
