Instructions
  1. In a wok, heat oil. Saute garlic and shallot until lightly brown and fragrant.
  2. Add pork, cuttlefish, and mushrooms. Cook until they soften.
  3. Add jicama, carrot and cabbage and fry until cooked. Add 100ml water and switch fire to low, cover wok to slow cook for about 20 minutes until water has been almost absorbed and jicama is soft. (the longer you braise it, the more flavourful the dish will be).
