Sesame and ginger stir fry pork is a common dish that is prepared for the mummies who are on their confinement after giving birth. The use of ginger is to help expel the “wind” from the body and improving blood circulation and treating conditions like inflammation and constipation. Having said that, this dish can definitely be enjoyed by anyone!

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
