Do you buy "Last Stock" vegetables? Mamarazzi would buy. The other days she was in Well Mart. Saw the staffs were packing big bag of Okra to be sold at 50% discount.
She looked through...the Okra were still young but a bit bruised. Hentam la. Just buy. It's only RM1.50 for this big packet.
What to do with so much Okras? Papa suggested to make Kerabu Okra which he saw in Auntie Claire's blog.
Usually when Mamarazzi makes kerabu(Salad), Papa would eat his without sugar which does not taste that nice.
Lucky for him, we received a box of goodies from
NuNatural. Papa really loves the products coz it's healthy and sugar free.
Among goodies received was this NuStevia No Carbs Blend Premium Natural Sweetener.
Mamarazzi just boiled the okras for 2 minutes then put them into ice cold water to stop the cooking process. Then cut the Okra into half and added some sliced onions. Squeezed some lime juice on top of it. Supposed to add Thai Chili Sauce but she omitted that coz I don't like spicy stuffs. Last of all she sprinkle some NuStevia No Carbs Blend Premium Natural Sweetener onto the Kerabu.
Taste? I think it's as good as those being done in the restaurants.
Your mom is a natural born cook! We have Stevia here in the grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny
DeleteIt's hard to get Stevia over here
Must taste good if small kucing says it tastes good!
ReplyDeletediscovered from Claire's blog
DeleteWe have okra here --and I enjoy it IF it is cut in small pieces and fried in corn meal.... YUM.. I hate it when it is boiled since it is SLIMY... I won't eat it that way.. Hope you enjoyed the way you made it and ate it.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
sounds good ....will try your way
DeleteOkra kerabu? Hmmmm....maybe I can give that a try one of these days.
ReplyDeletesaw in Claire's blog. so copy aje lor
DeleteNuStevia sounds kelas babe, hehe..
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of okra but will eat if it is served la.. But I heard its good for pregnancy especially when the due date is near.. Senang mau bersalin, they say..
Ohh just onions, lime juice and natural sweetener? Sedap.. Sounds very hoi wai.. If no use natural sweetener can use normal sugar lor..
of course la class LOL.....yummy leh
DeleteVery nice! Long time already I haven't eaten okra kerabu.
ReplyDeletehealthy too
DeleteSo far i never buy Last Stock before....
ReplyDeleteoooo.....your side doesnt have?
DeleteUncle SK always doesn't mind all those "reduced price to clear" stuffs, instead he welcomes that very much!! if he ever sees such section in supermarket, sure he will go and grab some, but of course make sure that he can consume them all before the expiry date lah..
ReplyDeletewahahahaha...gimme 5!
Deleteaiyoh, okra?? no thank you, muahaha!! this is something Uncle SK will not eat, he has got phobia lah.. remember when he was young, he's already not fancy towards this hairy veggie, and one day he was forced to eat, and the moment he ate that, he almost puked because of the hair and those slime in the veggie.. since then, he never eat or even try to accept okra again~~
ReplyDeleteYannie loves all types of veggie, but only find okra so so only.
Deletefunny la...hairy vege....thought u dont like okra coz of the lendir
Deleteoh, kerabu needs to put sugar ke?? Uncke SK didn't know lah, thought would be something like fish stock and lime juice like that only.. but Uncle SK biasa just do his own Chinese style sauce for veggie, simply soy sauce and sesame oil, a little sugar perhaps.. and so this NuStevia No Carbs Blend Premium Natural Sweetener from NuNatural would be something nice to use!! no carbs and sugar free, ah, how nice!! guess it taste good to be used in cookings with all natural ingredients.. :)
ReplyDeleteyes usually the shop will add sugar for taste
DeleteNice one Kathy! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll never think to put Stevia into Okra but it looks really good and sounds like it'll taste awesome!
I've tried the Vanilla NuStevia with overnight oats coz my better half makes a lot of it, I like the taste! It doesn't have the "errgghh" aftertaste of aspartame or other artificial sweeteners.
yup...my Papa also love it with his drinks
Deletestill have the products in my fridge too.. never used them yet.. hope they are not expired.. never thought of adding those sweeteners to the food.. next time must remember...good idea leh..
ReplyDeletecan just make drinks leh
DeleteI have not try the sweetener but would love to incorporate in my baking. Currently tarak baking mojo.hahhaa
ReplyDeletetoo hectic also no mojo leh
DeleteHmm, I don't really buy last stock items, hehe.

DeleteOh dear! Oh dear! Re, the next post, looks like this blog has come to the end of the road. That's how it all starts...a long hiatus and they never come back again.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes went big with dropped jaws!!! Such a big package from NuNaturals. Why they didn't send to me wan?
ReplyDeleteI love Kerabu and my mummy made all types of Thai Kerabu for me to eat. She could just pluck any leaves and flowers to marinate them. Voila!
