Hey my loving Asean Hive community,
How it is going? In our country, covid is still a bit quiet. However, commodity prices are slightly higher than before. My dad grows some vegetables in a small yard so my family can save some money. My family also earns some extra income by selling surplus vegetables to vendors. Yesterday, two roselle leaf plants planted by my father were damaged by heavy rains. My father replanted those two plants today. And my father picked some roselle leaves from some other roselle leaf plants. I have a picture of that roselle leaf above. My mother's friend also gave some young bamboo shoots from the village today. Today my mother asked me to mix and friar the young bamboo shoots and roselle leaf today. So, I mixed and fried those two today.
In the past, my cooking skills were not very good. These days, my cooking scale has improved because I often help my mother with dinner. The dish I cooked today is a Myanmar dish. Most Myanmar people know and love this dish. Let me first tell you about the ingredients needed for this recipe
Ingredients
• roselle leaf
• young bamboo shoots
• chili
• onion and garlic
• Dried shrimp
• Cooking oil
• A little salt
First, I thoroughly washed the young bamboo shoots with water. Then I cut the young bamboo shoots into small pieces with a knife. Then I rinsed them thoroughly with water.
I also washed the roselle leaves.
Now it's time to crush garlic, onion and pepper. Before I do that, I wash the dried shrimp thoroughly. Then I soaked the dried shrimp in water a little while.
First, I crush the garlic and onion. Then I put the chili in it and crushed it up again. I also put dried prawns and crush them again. You can smell the onion and garlic when crushing. If you want to be vegetarian, you do not need to add dried shrimp. If you do not add dried prawns, it tastes also very good.
Now I am ready to start cooking this dish.
First, I put the oil in a pan and heated it. When the oil is hot, I add and fried the crushed thing. I also added some salt.
When I smell the onion, I add the roselle leaf and stir. After a while, I added young bamboo shoots. Stir in the young bamboo shoots until cooked and you have a delicious roselle leaves and young bamboo shoots.
This dish is very easy to cook. And it tastes good. I did not take my mother's help in cooking this dish today. My mother told me that my cooking skills had improved after eating this dish. I also want to try other dishes to improve my cooking skills.
Thank you all. 🍇
