Dish #2 - Sa Po Fun & Dish #3 - Black Fungus with minced pork soup

Hmm.. I figured if Mum teaches me more than one dish per week it's okay too.. so that I can review the dishes in the free weeks...
Today was pretty much a fungal affair. Ok so I didn't feel like revising what I've learnt last week (I'm not the kind who likes to repeat food too often) so I asked my mum to teach me something else first. I was amazed at how easy making soup was! It's almost idiot proof!

Sa Po Fun, also known as claypot rice, is done a little differently in my house, simply because we all hate to eat the hardened and overburnt rice that collects at the bottom of the claypot. Therefore, we do NOT use the claypot to cook claypot rice.. talk about irony.

Anyway, it was only the preparation that was a slight bit tedious, but otherwise it was pretty easy! Still need to learn how to judge by Mum's 'agaration' rule though.






















First attempt at claypot rice.. preparations of ingredients were not by me.. I'll do everything the next time round.

I'm considering this dish to most probably be the dish I'll bring to the CNY dinner gathering at Jas's place.. heheh..

This was my soup!




Ok it's a bit messy because my mum was doing the laundry while giving me the instructions. She gave it a tad bit too late, and by then, the soup started overboiling. Oops.

See, I can even screw up something simple such as SOUP. Sigh.

It turns out that it's REALLY REALLY simple to prepare! The only trouble I had was trying to identify the 'head' of the fungus when removing it.. haha.

Pardon the photography. My batts kept dying on me. I SOOOOOOOOO need a new camera. Sigh.
