Mummy's cooking - Part 2

Here are more yummy dishes from mum's kitchen. B and I have gained a few kilos and at least an inch or two around the waists in just two weeks.


Stir-fried loofah squash with egg, dried shrimps and black fungus 丝瓜蝦米木耳炒蛋 - I am cooking this tomorrow!


Winter melon soup with cod fish, abalone and fried beancurd skin 冬瓜腐竹魚湯 - I don't think you can find this dish elsewhere, well, maybe in my aunt's kitchen. Mum used to cook it as a stew, and it later evolved to become a soup because B and I are always "drinking" the gravy. This dish brings back lots of fond childhood memories. Abalone is optional, main ingredient is the fish.


Vegetable and egg-drop soup (Mani choi/gau gei choi) in ikan bilis stock 枸杞菜湯 - B's favourite vegetable soup.


Roasted pork with crispy skin (siu yok) 燒肉 - this was not cooked at home, mum bought this from somewhere. The skin is crisp and there is just the right ratio of meat to fats. Makes me feel less sinful.


Yong tau foo 酿豆腐 again, back by popular demand. Lots of work involved in preparing the fish paste and stuffing them, but cooking the dish is relatively easy. One of mum's many specialties.


Stir-fried Chinese Broccoli (gai lan) with prawns 芥蘭炒蝦


Stewed fish head with yam, Chinese cabbage and tomatoes 香芋魚頭爐 - It's a Teochew dish and the deep-fried yam (taro) pieces go really well with the fish. They are soft inside and slightly crisp outside. Mum only cooks this dish when there are guests coming.


Mee hoon kueh 面粉糕 - This is my comfort food and I will try to make this dish next weekend.
