SAUTEED SOUR MUSTARD WITH BEANCURD

Sour mustard ?? what is it ??? is it kind of vegetables?? Yup, this is KAI CHOY vegetables, in Indonesia we called it SAWI PAHIT and in English is BITTER MUSTARD. Bitter?? I hate bitter. Don't worry food lovers, after through fermentation process the taste become delicious and no bitter at all, the taste is sour and salty like pickles but I think it's more taste salty than sour.

The process of fermentation commonly use coconut water and before you soak in coconut water and doing fermented process, there are some stages of process, first dried kay choi under the sunlight about 30 minutes until wilted but not to dried and then greased with coarse salt, then fold it as big as you fist and pierced with a toothpick, prepare a large glass jar with a cover then arrange salted kay choi in the glass jar and fill it with coconut water until the vegetables are submerged and cover tightly, let fermented process doing his about 5 or 6 days, you would see the colour will change and voila it's done ,become sour mustard.

Complicated ??? hard to make??? yes I know BUT you can buy ready to cook sour mustard at a supermarket or traditional market, it's easy to fine. Here little tips for you, to choose a good quality of sour mustard is by pressing the trunk part with you nail and if it's crunchy then it's a good quality, you can see from the color too, usually the green yellow or soft green is a good one but not dark green.

I usually always buy ready to cook sour mustard at traditional market and rarely make my own lol.

Sour mustard can be cooked into a variety of dishes such as stir fried sour mustard or you also can make into soup dishes, but this time I will cook into stir fried sour mustard with beancurd. This dishes can be served with white rice or plain porridge, talking about porridge reminds me of my grandfather, he usually eats this dishes with plain porridge and accompanied by a cup of Chinese tea.

Before you use the sour mustard try to wash it first okay, to reduce the salty taste but my advice don't boil it,cause some people always boil it or soak in hot water, if you do that then you will reduce the crunchy thing.

2. Cut beancurd into square about 2cm x 2cm.
3. Cut big red chili and clean the seed, then sliced.
4. Chop garlic.
5. Combined Seasonings : Mix 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon M.S.G, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon cooking wine, 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch into a small bowl and stir well.

I skip every supermarket aisle until I arrive at my favorite aisle, and......here we are at bottled spices aisle. Sometimes I can spend about 15-30 minutes to find ideas in this aisle.

Ok after from this aisle we moved towards to aisle vegetables, today I want to make dishes from broccoli and I combine it with tofu but I don't use any meat, sometimes my family and I prefer a dish without any meat. Eating too much meat is also unhealthy but the best thing is to try to keep everything balanced between eating meat and vegetables.


I already founded the fresh and green broccoli and also the tofu, I choose shrimp tofu, it's taste like shrimp. I make this menu for lunch, so......it's time to went home and cook but let's go to the cashier first, pay all the stuff OK, let's goooooo.

"Green and Crunchy"

To use the stalks we have to peel it first, remove all the hard skin take the middle part or soft content inside the stalks, the middle part or the content of the broccoli stalks after peeled would be very similar to KAI LAN vegetable stalks, but not as big as broccoli stalks. We will cook the broccoli and tofu with sauteed method.


When you soak the broccoli in hot boiling water try to boil the stalks part a little bit longer than the flower parts. And.....ahh there's another tip after you cut all the broccoli, you should prepare water and little bit vinegar in the bowl and then soak the broccoli for 30 seconds or 1 minutes, it will remove the vegetable grubs inside broccoli.

6. Cornstarch paste : mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoon water and mix well.

Methods :
