chap chye curry

today, i cooked chap chye (mixed vegetables) curry for dinner. i wanted to get the $1.65 vegetable curry mixture from ntuc supermaket, but it was sold out. an alternative would be the prima's sayor lodeh mix but it cost $3.85, so i decided to use the laksa mix instead. we had three boxes in the larder.

for ingredients, i had fried toufu, which i cut into the shape of a triangle, cabbage, carrot and turnip. the carrots and turnips were cut into bite size but the cabbage was more chunky.

instead of the stipulated 600cc of water, i added up to 1.5 litres of water to the pot. i stirred the laksa premix and the laksa paste thorough in the water before i started the fire to boil it. then i dropped in the ingredients - toufu, carrot, turnip and finally the cabbage.

when it started to boil, i added in the sambal and then let the mixture simmer for about forty-five minutes.

your mother had two helpings: that must be an endorsement from her for the quality of my chap chye curry.
