Tofu Burger

For non-vegetarians, the idea of a tofu burger is not exactly palatable.
BUT .. this one can make the grade. Well, it is not meat but it is tasty tofu. And not the mashed up type of patty where you don't know what exactly you are tasting.

 I prefer to see and eat the whole piece of tofu - a recognizable and tasty tofu patty. All it needs is to press the water out (stack something heavy on top for 20 mins or more), season with some soya sauce and pan-fry it.

 Oh, add some sauce like ketchup or barbeque sauce (usually not vegetarian) - so look for HP sauce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Sauce

The inspiration for this cooking came from this blog:

Next time, I'll add in the mushroom sauce with coconut cream.
Pan fried pieces of tofu

Arrange to your heart's content - coriander really jazzes up the taste, besides the bottled sauce!

Spicy Sour Mustard Green Stew (Tua Chai / Choy Keok / Chai Boey)

The elusive vegetable - Mustard Green - only found in the fresh markets (in Singapore), rarely in the supermarkets. There are quite a few write-ups about this post-Chinese-New-Year brilliant recipe to use up leftover meats. Leftover as in roast meats and pig trotter stewed meats that no one wants to eat anymore after over-indulging on rich dishes for several days. So, a genius person of olden days made a stew of these meats with assam (tamarind), dried chillies and mustard green vegetable to absord all the flavour. https://www.malaysianchinesekitchen.com/chai-boey-mustard-greens-stew/ https://www.rotinrice.com/chop-suey-soup-chai-boey/ https://beyondnorm.com/2017/03/19/choy-keok-recipe/ http://www.msyummylicious.asia/2016/02/hot-and-sour-chinese-mustard-vegetable.html I wanted to make this dish but had no 'leftover meats'. So, I started to collect my meats from the supermarket best buys' section for roast spring chicken and pork. I ate a little of the fresh roa

Homemade Vinegar Chilli Sauce (cili cuka)

Homemade chilli sauce. Simple homemade chilli sauce, similar to the chilli sauce served with chicken rice. For blending: Red chillies - 10-15 Garlic - 5-7 cloves Ginger - 2inch For mixing: Vinegar - 50ml to start with, the chilli sauce should not be too watery, the sour, tangy taste should be there Sugar - 1.5-2 tbsp Salt - 1 tsp Unfortunately, in true homemade style, I learnt to make this from my mum without measurements. Just a sense of proportion that there should be more chilli than garlic and less of ginger. Of course, the vinegar, sugar and salt are similarly adjusted to taste. Too spicy - add salt, sugar. Too bland - add salt, vinegar. Just mixing all these ingredients together is sufficient, no cooking is required. The vinegar, sugar and salt are preservatives. But I always make sure the chillies, garlic and ginger are washed and dried before I blend them. Also, discard some chilli seeds, otherwise, it will be very spicy. For slow consumption, I keep the bott
