Stir-fry Chinese leeks with roasted pork (蒜炒烧肉) is an authentic Chinese New Year cuisine in Malaysia. It is delicious and goes well with steamed rice. During Chinese New Year time, most families like mine will always have a lot of leftovers (eg. roasted meat, roasted pork, roasted duck) after the prayer process. Normally, I will use the leftovers roasted pork to stir-fry with Chinese leeks. This dish is best to cook during the CNY time because of the beautiful Chinese name of Chinese leeks, 蒜 (Suàn) which signifies prosperity (money counting). The dish is a simple combination of roasted pork, Chinese leeks, and chopped garlic.
