For this dish, ingredients are quite similar to Char Chap Chye but I think there is more fermented bean curd used. Full of flavours from the nam yee which also give the dish a nice colour.

Hi, Kimmy! This is one of my favourite but I always choose not to put the nam yue in the vege and replace with mushroom oyster sauce!
Great flavour with lots of vegetarian protein ingredients. My dad is vegetarian. I shall start learn how to cook vegetarian dishes. So can cook for him as I'm going to visit home soon.
Hi Jozelyn, same as me but with nam yue, it's good too.
Hi Vivian, for the past 9 days, my family was on vegetarian diet. We found the dishes appetising and we didn't miss the meats at all. You dad will be very happy if you do that.
A lovely vegetarian dish! And I love nam yue in most dishes!
Thanks for linking with CYB!
I like this vegetarian dish, will cook a big wok for CNY.
Hi Joyce, this dish is cholesterol free and has ample vegetable protein.

Hi Cheah, if I get to plan the CNY menu, I shall include more vegetarian dishes. Some of my hubby's siblings are vegans.
I love this vegetarian dish with the fermented beancurd...
Hi Kimmy,
Unlike Jozelyn, I prefer this dish with nam yee... I believe that it does give this an extra special flavour that other ingredients can't give :D

Hi Zoe, seeing my family eating up this dish did tell me it's not right to add nam yee.
