Shang Tang Heng Cai (上汤苋菜)

If I go eat at Zi-Char Stall, this is one of the dish that I will definitely order.  Seems healthy as it's veggie but this dish uses 3 types of eggs to cook and that makes it very unhealthy actually...ha ha...

I decided to cook this dish with just Egg and Century Egg (omitting Salted Egg).  But you can add in all 3 types of eggs if you like and not afraid of all the cholesterol or calories hee hee...

Ingredients:
1 Bundle of Heng Cai (Chinese Spinach)
1 Century Egg (Dice)
1 Egg (Lightly Beaten)
1 handful of tiny anchovies
2 Garlic (Mince)
1 tsp Chicken Powder
1 tsp Fish Sauce
Dash of Pepper
1 cup of Chicken Stock

Method:
  • Heat wok and saute garlic till fragrant.
  • Add in tiny anchovies and stir fry till crispy.
  • Add in Chicken Stock and bring to boil.
  • Add in Veggie and pour in the lightly beaten egg.
  • Add in all seasoning and lastly add in century egg and stir well and dish out!
This is such a simple and yet delicious dish...try it!!

Cook's Note:
* Do not cook veggie for too long...

Sambal Chilli Sweet Potato Leaves



Today went marketing and saw a bundle of nice young sweet potato leaves and thought would be nice to cook with Sambal Chilli!!

I used to live in Woodland area and there's a hill behind the house where SAF used it for exercise sometimes!  I remembered I used to go up the hill with friends after school hours but before our tutorial time.  There's still kampong hut up there with people staying at that time!  The boys will go around picking emptied bullets and Girls will just walk around chit chating and enjoying the greens....

There's once we venture further up the hill and found that there's few plot of land with nice and fresh veggies growing on it!!  The uncle there was so good to us...we saw a lot of potato leaves along side of the farm and he said it's FOC....told us to pluck as much as we like!  I took back one big plastic bag filled with it for my mum to do the cooking hee....

Here's the ingredients needed:

Sambal (Grind all together)
2 Red Chilli
2 Bird Eye's Chilli
4 Dried Chili (Soak in hot water first and drain)
1 cm Belacan (Dried Shrimp Paste)
4 Shallots
10g Dried Shrimps

1 Bundle of Sweet Potato Leaves
3 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Minced Garlic
1 tsp Fish Sauce

Method:
  • Grind sambal paste
  • Heat wok with 2 tbsp of oil and stir fry the sambal paste with low-med fire till fragrant
  • Add in minced garlic and Sweet Potato Leaves to mix well
  • Add in the water and fish sauce and quick stir and dish out!
As you can see I didn't add in any other seasoning except fish sauce because Belacan is already salty.

Easy...try it!!
