Fried Sengkuang

We love fried sengkuang and it has become our favorite since my mum cooked for us when my kids were still young. But mum wouldn't be here as often to fry for us so I got to learn.

Now it has become an easy dish for me to dish up. I prepared this dish specially for my girl as she came back for the weekend.

First, stir-fry the prawns and minced meat with garlic and oil.
Then pour in the shredded sengkuang and carrot.
Add some light soya sauce. 
Add some water and let it simmer.

the result

best eaten with fresh lettuce

I asked her: "How's the sengkuang?"
She replied: "Yummy!"

    Good morning Wenn,

    Sengkuang is naturally slightly sweet so with the carrot, even without any soy sauce, the dish will taste very nice. I like to eat sengkuang raw too.

    Have a good night sleep!

    The Koreans love this too because we wrap with lettuce leaves which they also wrap with meat etc.

    I've never heard of sengkuang and don't exactly know what it is. It does look delicious though.

    My grandma used to cook sengkuang for us while I stayed with her when I was a child. If I am not mistaken she planted some in her vegetable farm and sold some at the tamu, I missed her a lot :(

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
