  1. May I know what you mean by balance sauce is it from the marinade or from cooking? Is there another name for pork collar. Thanks.

    1. Hi, after the marinated meat cool down to room temperature, pour everything (pork & marinated sauce) into the pot to cook it. After the meat is cooked, the balance sauce in the gravy - add 2 tbsp of water in, let it come to a gentle boil. As for another name of the pork - this is what I got after Google.
      "A pork collar comes from the neck of the animal. It is a cheaper cut of meat, but this by no means implies that it is less delicious or inferior. The Spanish, in fact call it a butchers secret or 'Secreto' for its great tasting flavour. The collar can be cut into chops, pork steaks, diced pork and mince."
