Warm Purple Salad ~ 暖紫沙拉


This warm salad with freshly pan-fried pork fillet can be on served on its own as light lunch.  Served with some lightly toasted garlic bread, it can double up as an evening meal.







There's no specific recipe for this simple warm salad but I append below what were the ingredients I put in to whip this up :-

Ingredients
  • pork fillet, cut and seasoned with some salt, pepper, sugar and light soya sauce
  • purple cabbage, sliced
  • Japanese cucumber, peeled and cut
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Dash of sea salt
  • Olive oil + honey, mixed 
Method
  1. Pan fry the pork fillet till cooked and tender.
  2. In a warm salad bowl, mix in the cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes and a dash of salt.
  3. Toss in the pork fillet, mix well.
  4. Drizzle on the olive oil and honey mixture.
  5. Serve immediately.

      Yes, pork is rarely used in a salad... just thought to use something different!

      Me too. Had this warm salad in one of the cafes in KL not too long ago. But homemade is definitely much cheaper and more value for money!

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge. Snow Swallow Dessert  ~   天然野生雪燕 Ingredients 8 gm Snow Swallow gums 10 gm red dates 10 gm goji berries 20 gm dried longan Rock or piece sugar to taste 1 litre water Pandan leaves (optional) Method Soak the Snow Swallow gums in plenty of water for at least...
