Last minute thingy and grab whatever I can from the wet market.
Just some salted vege. Julienne and soaked in running water for about 5 minutes to rid as much salt as possible.
A packet of silk tofu or "SUI TAU FOO"
Some pork ball as I dont want the hassle of pork bones or chicken bones. This kind of pork ball is what the Cantonese called " Chi Yoke Kan "
Tomatoes
Anchovies
Boiled the anchovies after cleaning them up and soaked in water again to rid of salt. Simmer for 20 minutes. I discared the anchovies after that. Add in the pork balls ,julienne salted vegetable and tomatoes and simmer for another 10 minutes. Lastly add in the tofu and adjust ur seasoning.
Simple right ?
Cheers !

Life will never be perfect and opposites always attract. Think even Boo will be happy if Splashie can once in awhile cook some comfort food for her.
What a coincident! I also cooked this for dinner tonite. But I forget to put onion, which would make the soup more oompy. BTW, I had done some kpc hunting for camera eviews. Post liao
ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good husband and a great cook! Great combination.
It's interesting to see anchovies on your list of ingredients... I love anchovy sauce with a squeeze of lime or lemon as a condiment for roast chicken eaten with boiled rice.
The soup sounds so yummy. What makes a pork ball? Is it something you buy already made up as a ball? or is it something you make yourself?
this is my favourite soup of all time! i can eat bowls of rice with just this soup! :)
ReplyDeleteHam Choy Tong is one of my favourites :)
