This Five Spice (Ngoh Heang) Bak Kian is a main dish served during festival celebration or ancestral praying in my family, it is kids’ favourite dish too. Besides minced pork, chopped jicama (or water chestnut), carrot and green onion are added to enhance the texture and flavour, as well as the nutritional value of this dish. If you like prawn, you may replace some minced pork with minced prawn.
