Steamed Ladies Fingers (Okra) with Superior Sauce is a dish which can be attempted by anyone, even a beginner. The superior sauce is only a nice sounding name but it is in essence, a combination of light soya sauce and oyster sauce. This recipe takes approximately 3 minutes to cook and less than 10 minutes to prepare.

Some people dislike the “slimy” inner part of ladies fingers when it is stir-fried. When you steam it whole, you do not have to deal with the “slime” – which is just the natural juice from within the vegetable. I find this dish very healthy as it only involves cooking by way of steaming, though in preparation of the superior sauce, you do need to add in a little bit of garlic oil. As for the type of ladies fingers, choose the tender ones which are usually lighter green in colour.

I always read The Star newspaper and like any other day, one of my favourite pastimes would be to read the newspaper. A day is like incomplete if I do not read the newspaper. So, as I was flipping through the pages of The Star yesterday, I noticed a familiar picture. It is a picture of a plate of Mee Rebus which I took when I did a food review back in August. As I read further, I then realised that it was highlighting the post I did on Rosli’s Mee Rebus. A smile was brought to my face to see the article highlighting the Mee Rebus food review.

Thanks to Sangeetha of The Star for finding my food review newsworthy

Fried Tomato with Minced Pork is a dish I learnt from my mother-in-law. Well, perhaps not exactly learnt but she cooked it and I ate it. Recently, we had a few tomatoes lying in the fridge and I thought why not give it a try. I did not ask my mother-in-law for the recipe and tried to cook it to resemble the one she cooked and it turned out quite alright.

It is a simple dish, and takes just a couple of minutes to prepare and cook. Actually, you just need to cook the minced pork. The amount of time for the stir frying of the tomato is pretty much up to you. The longer you cook it, the softer it becomes. If you prefer it firmer, just give it a few stirs to coat it with the sauce. Try this recipe for Fried Tomato with Minced Pork. It is quite appetising and suitable with steamed white rice.

Early September, one of my avid readers, Reese, came to Kuala Lumpur and we met up for a Yong Tow Foo lunch at Ampang. She brought me a bottle of General Tso’s Sauce & Glaze from Boston to let me try it out. I’ve never heard, let alone tasted General Tso’s sauce all these while. Reading the ingredients, it looks like the sauce is a blend of garlic and plum (I think) and I thought this would work well with pork, especially pork chops. In the internet, however, I discovered that this sauce is more famous with what is known as the General Tso Chicken dish but being adventurous myself, I decided to give pork chops a try.

The result was absolutely mouth watering. General Tso’s sauce works well with fried pork chops which have been cut into small cutlets. The slight sour and musky taste compliments the pork chops and made the dish really appetising. My daughter gave it the thumbs up. It is such a simple dish that anyone can try it at home.
