Hi Kimmy,
Interesting ingredient with the eggplant. I love eggplant and this dish looks delicious!
Kimmy, I love this type of braised vegetarian dish and eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables. I also like the wet beancurd and always attack that first hee..hee...
Hi Joyce, it's a rather complete dish for a meal.
Hi Phong Hong, all the ingredients blend well. Leave the tau pau to steep in the gravy for sometime makes it much tastier.
Oh, I love 'tau pau'.... I'll zoom in on them first. This vege dish will make a good dish on the first day of CNY!
Thanks for sharing your vegetarian dishes. I like to read your blog to get ideas on what to cook when I go vegetarian. If not it will always be chai up (vegetarian duck/goose-I make it myself. Dont like to buy because 1. expensive 2. not so nice 3. not sure of the ingredients they used )or chai choy.
Hi Soke Hah, that means must prepare the dish with bigger portion of tau pau otherwise 3 of us [PH, you and I] will be in a fight for it, hehehe!
Hi Metta, I cook quite a number of vegetarian dishes during 2 months ago. All very nice. This dish makes a complete vegetarian meal with rice. Enjoy.
What is wet beancurd skin? Is it dried beancurd stick soaked till wet then fry till golden brown?
Hi Adeline. wet beancurd skin is aka 'tau pau' in Chinese. It is sold in packet and frozen. In Malaysia, you can get it at the frozen food [vegetarian section] of most supermarkets like Tesco and Giant. Just thaw and pan fry or deep fry them.
Thks kimmy. I m fm sg. Will go supermkt n look out.
