Housewives do have their challenges.
Children struggle to come up with new recipes when they get sick of their old
favourites. Let us talk about lady fingers for this time. Lady finger also name
as okra. How do you eat lady fingers? Stir-fry with dried shrimp and belacan?
Stuffed lady fingers like Hakka Yong Tau Fu, vegetables curry… the list go on.
My son does not like to eat lady
fingers due to the slime of the lady fingers affects the taste. Fortunately, my
son enjoys eating sambal belacan. He like to have it any time of day, with almost anything and everything. So, lady fingers with sambal
belacan would be a fantastic idea. Some of the recipe online showing that to pour the sambal over the cook lady's finger or return the cook lady's finger to the wok and toss together. But I stuffed the sambal into the lady's fingers which I think the strong, rich flavour of the sambal completely masked the slimy flavour of the vegetabales. It is shockingly tasty and extraordinarily simple to prepare.
It really will encourage you to consume more of this vegetable than normal.
