Nyonya Chap Chye Recipe (Vegetarian Dish)

Unlike Loh Hon Chai (refer to my entry here)  where red bean curd is used, the Nyonya Chap Chye calls for the use of Taucu (minced bean paste) instead. This is an extremely simple dish to prepare and  the hint of sweetness goes well with kids.

Ingredients:

  • oil
  • garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced taucu
  • onion, sliced
  • white cabbage
  • carrot
  • dried mushrooms, soaked and sliced
  • dried lily buds (kin chiam), soaked; cut off the hard tips and tie each strand into a knot
  • dried bean curd skin (tau kee), soaked
  • tanghoon (glass noodles), soaked until pliable
  • water
  • Sugar and salt

Method:

Heat oil. Fry garlic and onion until golden. Add taucheo and fry until fragrant.

Add carrot. Once the carrot is soft add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry well.

Add water. Cover for 5 minutes. Season with salt and sugar.
