Stir fry Turnip (sengkuang) with cuttlefish
9 December 2009 dans Uncategorized
We had some old school friends over for dinner last night. Besides turmeric chicken, I also made some stir fry turnip since dishes like this more convenient, as it can be prepared upfront.
My 2nd time trying out this all-time-favourite homecook dish. It was taught by Sin Lee’s mother, but I only used some of the ingredients I have at home.
Ingredients:
belly pork thinly sliced
1/2 turnip shredded sengkuang
pounded dried shrimp
carrot shredded (but I did not add this round)
shredded dried cuttlefish
4 cloves garlic
Sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp light soya sauce
- 1 tsp thick soya sauce
- a little salt and sugar to taste
- water
Method
- Stir fry the pork strips until dry and crispy
- Saute garlic and dried shrimp until fragrant
- Add in rest of the ingredients
- Stir fry till well combined
- Add water and sauce and let it simmer until turnip turns soft
Although the strips was coarsely cut, it really taste good. However it would taste better if I let it simmer longer so that the turnip will be softer or reheated on the following day.
