When we were in New York City, seeing the Lims off. I spotted two very basic but much loved ingredients for making a simple local dish. The 'tau-geh' (bean sprouts) and the salted fish. These are easily available in any wet market in Singapore. The 'tau-geh' auntie at the market would give me a huge bundle for just S$0.30!
It is really a very simple dish to do. Just 3 simple steps:-
1)Vegetable oil to fry with some chopped up garlic.
2)Throw in the sliced up salted fish.
3)Lastly, throw in the bean sprouts.
Add chillies (optional)
Fry them for less than 5 minutes and you get a nice comfort dish!
That night, we had 'dou ya chow sian yu' (bean sprouts fried with salted fish) for dinner. It was simply heavenly.
