Saturday Night Dinner : Salted Vege & Salted Fish

Preserved food is is not very healthy, and should not be eaten often and at large amounts.

I don't know what came over us yesterday evening that compelled my friend and I to cook both salted vegetables and salted fish for dinner.

First we chopped up the salted vegetables.

Chopped salted mustard

Then we got ready the minced pork. We stir-fried the minced pork with the salted vegetables.

Another portion of the pork was seasoned with some sesame oil, pepper, and an egg.

Setting that aside, we washed and cut the salted fish into small pieces.

We poured the seasoned minced pork mixture into a tray, and arranged salted fish slices on top. To remove the overpowering smell of the salted fish, we sprinkled some ginger on top.

Ready to be steamed

The dish was steamed for 10 minutes.

The salted fish really gives this dish an oooommmmppphhhhh

Okie. To appease our guilt of consuming high amounts of salt, we decided to cook a vegetable soup. We'd bought cangkuk manis from the market yesterday morning.

We wanted to cook our vegetable soup with prawns.

Uber large fresh prawns

We wanted our soup bland.

Because of the salted food, we'd consumed a lot of rice than we should!! It's a simple and quick meal that we whipped up in a jiffy on a Saturday evening. Fun and yumm!
