Went to the market today, as any other Sundays or sometimes Saturdays, depending on the mood. Been planning to go to my mom's house for lunch today, and I intend to bring food. Now what do I cook? I've been asking this question a lot lately. Really, it's always the same thing, over and over again. Chicken curry, ikan sambal, beef soup, you know, the usual. Asking the kids doesn't help either. Whatever, ma.. that's their usual response.
Ok, let's see.. for the kids, I will cook ayam masak kicap. For my parents, I will fry terubok fish, make some sambal asam jawa to eat the fish with. And some ulam would be nice.
And then, I thought of this - bitter gourd. It is always welcomed at my parent's house. Actually this vege tastes quite nice. What you do is pound some onion + garlic + red chili + anchovy and stir fry with the bitter gourd. And some salt to taste, and a little water. The normal process takes about 10 minutes to complete.
For those of you who're 'afraid' of trying this vege, now is the time. The vege is cheap, the other ingredients are also cheap. If you don't like the result, just dump it in the trash. Simple huh?
