It’s Saturday. Hubby’s back as i fell ill on Wednesday night. He cant be home for long as there’s work to be done back in KL. We dont feel like going out for food. Homecooked goodness is still best. Stew is the best comfort food of all times. And today, we’re having Chicken Stew with Chinese Mushrooms and Puffy Tofu (tau fu pok).
These are the main ingredients needed to cook this Chicken Stew. Other than that, you’ll need some chopped shallots, garlic and ginger. Fry these with sesame oil till fragrant. Then add the main ingredients in and mix them well. Add enough water to cover all the main ingredients, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chinese rice wine and a little bit of salt, sugar and pepper for flavoring. For a different taste each time, you can add taucu, or blackbean paste to it. Stew for a few hours till all tender. Best served piping hot straight from the pot with rice.

Remember i once posted a pic about some organic white brinjals that my neighbor planted outside our house? She gave us more after she harvested some last weekend. MIL steamed the previous batch of white brinjals. This time, my neighbor told my MIL to boil them instead. She was so right. They were more tender and errrr…. smoother. All that’s needed for flavor is a dash of soy sauce and some garlic oil. Ahhhh…. so healthy. Organic worrrrr……

Four-sided beans are also known as winged beans. Oh, there are many other names for this small weird-looking beans but that’s not important. You just need to know that it’s four-sided, and flares from the center into ruffled wings at the ridges. It’s crunchy and tastes “greenish”. The whole bean can be eaten. It’s best fried with sambal. My sis cooked up a whole wok of fried rice with this four-sided beans and some bacon. I had a huge plate of this together with a spoonful of that hot and spicy homemade sambal my mom concocted. MmMMmm MmmmMM Mmmm MmmM mmMMMmmmM….

Everyone in the family seems to be down with kinda illness. Both my kids and i are having sore throat, cough and cold. Aiya, all thanks to our weather lah @#$%^&*. That’s why, soups are the dinner table’s permanent residence now, lol.
The pic above are the ingredients for old cucumber soup. It doesnt take much to make a pot of nutritious soup that hydrates our body at the same time. Two mid-sized old cucumber, a cup of dried groundnuts, 10 – 12 red dates with the seed removed, dried squid and meat of choice are enough for a family of 6 – 8 persons. We’re using spared pork ribs. Feeling dry and parched? Have some soup each day.

It’s another Sunday. I’m down with a massive headache. So, not taking the kids anywhere today. MIL bought some lai fun (the kind of noodles hawkers use with their assam laksa) from the market. She cooked something for everyone with just minced pork, eggs and choy sum. Thanks, MIL. It’s good to be living with in-laws.
Well, guess i wont be doing much now. But then, i can still watch drama series online. Dont forget to watch Beauty Knows No Pain online together with me starting tonight. Join me on Twitter for the daily episode updates. Request for access over at Twitter, k.
