Bak Chang is commonly associated with high-fat ingredients such as fatty pork and high sodium. We create a healthy version of Bak Chang choices using blue pea flowers which give a natural blue hue to the Nyonya Chang but also packed with health benefits. Reduced salt soy sauce is also used elevated the flavour without adding too much sodium. Lean tender pork is used instead of fatty pork belly. Besides this, shiitake mushrooms and candied melon strips are added to infuse a sweet flavour naturally.
