I never had the need to cook Jiu Hoo Char, there's always my mum and sisters-i-l. But then I thought, to be a more authenticated aculturated nyonya (a term I just learned) I must be able to cook this dish. After a whole morning of cutting, cutting cutting and here it is - my first Jiu Hoo Char... ta.da.. The taste-tester - KS verdict - not bad... he asked for 2nds. Actually not bad lah - but since this is homecooked and not commercial, must be more 'ho liau' . So tomorrow, I'm going to add more mushrooms and dried cuttlefish.
If mum sees the way I cut the veges, she'll be turning in her grave!
