| A whatever dish but the taste is anything but whatever |
My mum never liked
cooking much. She neither had the interest nor the energy for it. One day after
a visit to a relative, she drew inspiration from her and made this one pot dish,
which was well received by us. It became a go-to dish for a while until we got
sick of it.
While making this
dish, I recalled those days which were tough on her. As a sickly stay-at-home mum handling 3 rascals and who was always short of money, life was always a challenge. If only I can wind back the clock, I would
thank her for toiling without expecting any returns.
For 3.
1 cup of pork,
cubed
1 cup of fresh corn
nibblets
3 cups of cabbage,
broken to bite size
Cooked overnight
rice for 3
scant amount of
soya sauce , sesame oil
Method :
Heat 1 tbsp of
oil. Fry the pork until there is no moisture.
Add corn and
cabbage. Stir well.
Add the rice and
soya sauce.
Stir with a pair
of chopstick to thoroughly cook the contents.
Add sesame oil.
Toss.
Serve very hot.
This simple fried rice is very appealing. I was very touched what you wrote about your mum. I must show my mum more appreciation whenever I can.
