Soaked vegetable & anchovies

Soaked vegetables will usually turn a bit salty and sour.
It is best if fried with anchovies to add in additional taste.

Firstly wash clean the soaked vegetables and chop to small pieces.


Pour in bits of cooking oil into the wok with medium fire.
Fry a small piece of garlic,
add in the soaked vegetables
and anchovies with low medium fire.

Must constantly stir the anchovies and the vegetables or else the anchovies will not be balanced cooked, some are crispy while others are not.

It is the best dish to eat with porridge.


Something bitter

Put in few slices of pig bones
Add in sliced bitter gourds
Add in a small clove of garlic
Two small bowls of water
Boil for 20-25 minutes and serve with bits of salt to taste.

This is a very easy to prepare soup and also  very healthy for our bodies.


(Pig bones can be alternatively be replaced by anchovies.)


Poor man's food

Some one told me, he used to have this food ever since young.  His family, esp. his parents used to buy this type of "gu cai" and "beansprouts" as they were cheap in the old days.

Now, I would take this type of dish as something very healthy.  To make it taste better, I add in the "baby corns" sliced to small pieces.

Put in a bit of cooking oil, add in minced garlic
Put in the "gu cai" and beansprouts and baby corns.

Add in some salt to taste.  It is extremely nice.

"Tepus" Local Bidayuh word

The Bidayuhs call it "Tepus".  I search through the net, it is a ginger family plant found in the wild.

The Tepus are sliced off its skin and then cut to small cubes.  It got a type of sap which will bring thread forms.  But dont worry, just fry the tepus with garlic, minced meat or anchovies.

It is a very tasty vegetable from the wild. No chemicals at all.  Good for health.

Colocasia stalks

Not all colocasia stalks can be eaten.  Some are used for feeding pigs.

But only this type is edible by humans as the sap are not causing lips allergy.

The colocasia stalks are peeled off its skin, cut to small pieces.
Fry a small garlic and add archovies if you wish
and put in the coloocasia stalks with medium fire to low fire.

Before serving add in bits of salt or msg as you wish but NEVER ever add in water because
the stalks contains much water.
