Beancurd and Roasted Pork in Claypot

That's the final batch of the Siew Yoke that has been kept in my freezer for quite sometime. Phew! Finally I had finish cooking all of them. So for this round, we had something different - Beancurd with Siew Yoke in claypot. I had placed the claypot on the stove too long thus overcooked the honey peas as shown in the pictures. They were slightly darker in colour. I was hoping to make the carrots softer but totally forgotten that the honey peas were easily cook. Thus, I should have placed them the last if I wanted to make the carrots softer and yet not overcooking the honey peas. If you were not that fussy as I am, the cooking time should take around 2 minutes only. I think I took more than 5 minutes plus - hence the end results, honey peas overcook.
