After Mamarazzi's experiment withe the Water chestnuts Thong Sui, she still have some left over.
Just wash. Did not soak it in the water for long coz she discovered that if soak in water long time, the watercress will become bitter. Maybe coz it "hidup balik"?
Chop the water chestnut into half. Throw into the pot and boil with some meat, red dates and watercress. Add salt to taste
The soup taste much sweeter than the usual watercress soup. Mamarazzi loves the crunchiness of the water crestnut.
Papa pulak in a frying mood . Bought a packet of the fish paste, taugeh, Daun Kuchai(Chives?) and carrot. Mix everything together and fry.
This is the end result. Not bad leh. Got the crunchiness of the taugeh.

But of all the dishes that evening....I love the salted fish the best. Yum....

DeleteI like sai yeong choy tong too.. Yep, usually will boil with watercress, red dates and pork ribs.. Sedap to the max! During pregnancy they say cannot drink so much, coz the soup is "leong" one.. But now, weather so hot in the afternoon, nice to have a bowl of sai yeong choy soup too..
ReplyDeleteYummzz, I love the fried fish cakes.. But my style very simple nia.. I mix pork, fish, one egg, spring onions (choong), corn starch, soya sauce and pepper.. I don't think I will open wok and fry too, coz I'm lazy ma, then need to deal with oil splatters and all.. I think I will roll into balls, then bake in oven, hehe, lazy style punyer version..
But of coz, frying version is more sedap.. I would like to have a pieces with cili+mayonnaise dip please!
bake in oven ah...good idea. mess free. next time will try that
DeleteI don't really like to eat taugeh leh, like those serve as side dish of fried kue teow!!! But if cook like this I would eat la...don't know why!!!! O.o!!!

ReplyDeleteit was
DeleteYeah, watercress is a fast-perishable plant that's why I normally buy two bunches. I sometimes like to just fry it with garlic and mini-anchovies and a slice or two of ginger.
ReplyDeleteI normally soak vegs with salt added in the water - to dislodge worms. Believe me, even such clean-looking cauliflower does have pretty light-blue worms. Okay, back to watercress, the trick to not having bitter watercress soup is to put in the watercress ONLY when the water is boiling. Try it the next time.
Your man's fried fish paste dish looks seriously delicious. :D
so fr not no worms la . only got one snail or two LOL
DeleteTrying to get water chestnut to make dumpling paste but can't get :(
ReplyDeleteyea wor...kinda hard to get sometimes. but when you dont need it , you will see it every where.
