Pleasure with cooking

After last night's "junk" for dinner, I do feel guilty and worked a bit harder to cook up a better one tonight.

Yong taufu is one of my favorite dishes to go with white rice. But the preparation is so much more tedious and takes up longer time. Then again, usually these kind of dishes are much more tastier and appetizing. Can feel the effort pays off when I sit down finally to enjoy my dinner.

I make the fish paste myself, scraping off the fish from its bone from ikan tenggiri. Very, very tiring work. I hate that part, but at the same time, I can't bring myself to buy those ready made paste from the market.

I like to add bits of spring onion into the paste, if it's not for my kids, I would have injected some bits of chillies into it, and if it had not been my fussy eater hubs who can detect the tiniest flavor of coriander leaves, I would have include them in it too. For tonight, I added some prawns.

There are just too many stuffs we can stuffed the paste in. Those I like are brinjals, long beans, chillies, taufu, wanton skin, taufu paper, taufu pok, ladyfingers... in fact, I like everything that are stuffed! But I can't do all as I have a picky family who have their own different favorites.

These are for the gravy. Could do with some lime juice, but I don't have any in my fridge, so this would do.
And, ta-da~ our dinner for tonight. *burp* I was full to the brim!
