All about 1 dish meal

Hi Ting Ting,

The recipe is based on estimation as my MIL don’t use measuring device. I got modified a bit for some quick fix. Here it goes.

Mixed meat about $4 -$5 from wet market
Fish paste 2 cups from NTUC
Tau Fu big one about 8 pcs (cut holes in middle, do not throw away the cut portion, k cook together don’t waste)
Chilli big ones about 8 ( cut open in the middle, do not remove stalk just remove the seeds)
Bitter gourd 6 (optional) (cut a hole n remove the middle part)
Taucu (豆酱，兰花牌）1 to 1.5 spoonful
Minced garlic
Salt
Pepper
Oyster sauce 1 spoonful
Thai basil 8 to 10 leaves (optional)

Steps
1) mixed minced pork, fish paste, pinh of salt & pepper well
2) Stuff the mixture into the Tau Fu, chilli & bitter gourd.
3) Fried the them & remove from wok when outside golden. Don’t over fried chilli & bitter gourd.
4) put a bit oil, fried minced garlic but don’t brown it. Then put bean paste, oyster sauce n water. Water estimate must reach brim of fried Tau Fu, chilli & bitter gourd. If not sure don’t put too much water first. Put in the fried stuffs then add some more water if not enough. Let it cook or 5 to 10 mins. Taste the soup n see if it’s to your taste. You can add more bean paste or oyster sauce if you need to adjust the soup based. As I only use the bean paste from Malaysia, I am not sure if using other brand will affect the outcome. The brand I am using is not so salty.

Lastly, add basil leaves n let it simmer for a while, cover the wok for a while & it’s ready to be served. Just eat with white rice.

Try making smoothies consisting a variety of fruits and raw organic leafy greens all in one blend. You will be amazed how filling and nutritious it can be as a cooked meal substitute. Fast and convenient too!
