Cooking Weekend - Dinner

had 2 new dishes for dinner...which turned out nice..hee!

kaffir leave in sambal sweet potato leaves

兩瓜湯
(thanks water for the chinese characters)

the vege was simple to make. i wished i could make my own sambal balachan..but to save the trouble i got a bottle from ntuc....and it was tasty! simply with garlic, small onions, kaffir lime leaves and the sambal balachan...stir fry the ingredients by adding some water till boil...then add the vege..cover the pan....then open the cover in less than a minute, continue to stir fry lightly...and that's it! this could be done in 5mins!

as the name implies, 兩瓜湯 simply have 2 types of cucumber - sharksfin cucumber and old cucumber...then some herbs - wolfberries, red dates, apricot kennel and not forgetting the essence of the soup, pork bones (chicken breast meat works too) after boiling for 2 hours, you'll get a thick and wholesome home-made soup...so healthy!
