step 1
Heat the oil (120 ml) in a pan over a medium-high heat and fry the onion (2), ginger (1 piece) and garlic (6 cloves) for 4-5 minutes, stirring. Once golden, add the pork mince (400 g), mushrooms (4), ground cumin (2 tbsp), ground coriander (2 tbsp), chopped coriander (1 bunch)m garam masala (2 tbsp), white pepper (1/2 tsp) and salt (2 tsp). Cook for around 10 minutes and then add the kicap manis (3 tbsp).
step 2
Remove the crusts from the loaves (2 loaves). Cut the loaves into 4-inch thick slices and cut a pocket carefully into one side on each slice to remove a little hollow of bread. Fill with the pork mix and pinch to close.
step 3
Carefully dip the slices in the egg (6).
step 4
Heat oil in a frying pan to 180 celsius and then fry the sandwiches until golden, around 3-4 minutes, flipping carefully halfway. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen paper to drain off the excess oil.
step 5
For the dipping sauce, add the tamarind paste (120 g), sugar (5 tbsp), ground ginger (1/4 tsp), dark soy sauce (1 tbsp), red chilli (1), coriander (1 handful) and mint (1 handful) to a pan. Fill the tamarind jar with 120ml water, shake and add this to the pan, and reduce. Cook until thick and syrupy.
step 6
Fill a teapot with boiling water. Add the tea leaves (3 tbsp) and cardamom pod (5), cinnamon stick (1), fennel seeds (1 tsp) and star anise (1) and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.
step 7
Stir the condensed milk (3 tbsp) into the teapot then pour between glasses a few times before serving.
step 8
For the pineapple salsa, heat the butter (1 knob) in a pan and fry the garlic (1 clove), cinnamon (1), ground cinnamon (1 tsp), star anise (1) and turmeric (1 pinch) for 1 minute until fragrant.
step 9
Add the pineapple (1) and sugar (2 tbsp) and toss. Finish with the chilli (1), lime juice (1/2) and mint leaves (1 handful).
step 10
Serve everything together at the same time and dig in.
