How to cook nice meals

[Augmum]

Happy Mama:

Actually I bought ingredients to try your recipe. Happily shopped for all the ingredients (except the black sauce since I wasn't sure, so decided to use my own first).

Then when I reached home and was going through the recipe, I realised I forgot to buy MEI CAI! How to make Mei Cai Kou Rou withtout the Mei Cai?! So I ended up tweaking the recipe and made Kou Rou instead. :stupid:

Thank goodness, DH, DD and my parents loved it and said it was delicious! :drool: Thanks for the recipe.

Alamak......Mei Cai Kou Rou without Mei Cai....... :rotflmao: :faint:
u shd have tell me earlier, i can \"post\" it to u....haha
b4 CNY i went to the wet market and bot 1 kg of it (becos i seldom go wet market mah.....so bot more)

thanksfully, yr Kou Rou turned out good.....
for Kou Rou alone, i forgo the tomato sauce and chilli bean sauce, but i still add some dried chilli to it.
oh ya...put in some 桂皮 (cinnamon sticks) together with some star anise.

Thanks Augmum. I went to NTUC Finest at Bt Timah this morning but they don't carry this brand. Looks like must get it from Giant.

happy mama, recently i have seen it at ntuc supermarket, not sure abt ntuc finest.
in the past, this brand of dark soya sauce is not commonly seen,
but nowadays not so, i had also ever seen it selling at sheng siong.

Thanks, I realise my mum also uses this brand and she told me got it from Giant, so I will get mine from there too.

Hi Augmum,

I'd like to try your recipe. For the preserved veg, can I buy it at the supermarket? Any particular brand? I've seen the salty one, not the sweet one.

For the tomato sauce, is that the canned one or ketchup?

Thanks! The dish looks really delicious.

jtoh, so did u try out my recipe of 梅菜扣肉 ??
i remember the other time u were asking for the ingredients, any feedback for me ??

Hi Augmum,

Sorry, missed this message. The threads here go so fast. No, i haven't tried out your recipe yet. Haven't bought my mei cai yet. Still very keen though. Will post here when I do. Thanks!

The other time when I submitted my home-cooked recipe : Mei Cai Kou Rou (梅菜扣肉),

no photos to go with it as i did not cook this dish.

Today, happened to cook this dish, manage to take a photo of it.

Here it goes…….Enjoy your E-Lunch or E-dinner, goes perfectly well with a bowl of steamed rice. :love:
