One evening, a housewife of a family was preparing an ordinary pork dish while waiting her husband to return home, she thought that it should not be any waste of the large amount sauce that had just been used for the previous fish dish. So that she added the sauce to the one which she was making.

He sampled the pork dish and finished it quickly before his wife served rice. He asked her hurriedly how the special and delicious pork was made and she gave the answer.
