Kueh Pie Tee

I invited my side of family to come to my house for dinner. We decided to cook chicken porridge, asparagus wrapped with bacon and kueh pie tee. However, I didn’t manage to take a picture of my final product Kueh Pie Tee. What a waste. The recipe I used is from http://www.herworld.com/solutions/solutions/recipe-quick-and-easy-seafood-kueh-pie-tee. This is a quick and easy recipe I followed and the dish was a hot favourite that night.

Hakka Yong Tau Foo

I used to buy raw yong tau foo in the wet market and cooked them with bean paste sauce at home. Today I will try Hakka yong tau foo and make everything from scratch. My mother in law helped me to fry all the ingredients as I am not good at frying.

Steamed Lady’s Finger with fried fermented bean sauce and onions

It is said that lady’s finger has a lot of nutritional values. The fried fermented bean sauce with onions tastes like the sambal shrimp sauce. I cook the lady’s finger as a non-spicy vegetarian dish.

This home-style dish is hot favourite among the children. My nieces, nephew and son will scoop up so much and fast that there is hardly enough for the adults.

Buah Long Long Pickles

Buah long long is a tropical fruit which is very sour. Uncle Hong who is very good in planting gave us a buah long long plant. He usually harvests a very large number of fruits and my mother-in-law always make pickles from them. A very healthy and traditional fruit snack.

Here is my mother-in-law’s recipe.

Stewed Chinese Mustard Green with Roasted Pork in Assam Sauce

This is one of my family’s favourite dish.  This is also a communal dish where I can cook a large pot to serve a whole family. The sourish sweet sauce with soft tendered mustard green is served best with rice. I use the pressure cooker to speed up the cooking of the Chinese Mustard Green. It takes only 15 minutes instead of the normal 45 mins or more.
