Moo Yang and Salad: Grilled Pork and Salad Japanese Style

“Taste is individual”

The difference between cooking for your own self and cooking for others is the “individual taste”. I think all of those famous chefs know the secret of how to please different people at the same time. That’s the main reason why they are very successful in food business.

Anyway, back to my “Moo Yang” which I cooked to please one of my mates who is very thin and can eat anything in this world and needs not to worry about gaining weight at all. Means: she gets to eat all of delicious food whenever she feels like.

If I cook this dish for myself, Pork Shoulder is probably not my choice, though it’s so delicious. No... I am not a weight-watcher maniac. I am just an ordinary woman in her 30s who has to control what to eat in order to be healthy.
