#55 STIR FRIED CUCUMBER WITH SOY SAUCE #35


My dad or "Nini Boy" as my children call him likes to cook. I remembered he used to cook for My late Mom when she was at the hospital. His recipes are simple but yet delicious. This is one of his very own recipe. He used to cook this dish with fresh cuttlefish but I haven't got any in my fridge so I used fresh prawns instead..

Ingredients
1 large cucumber- cut into wedges
2 shallots-sliced
2 cloves garlic -sliced
1 red chili- sliced
1/2 tsp chicken stock powder
dark soy sauce
5 -8 prawns-shelled and deveined

steps
-heat oil in wok
-fry the shallots, garlic and red chilli until fragrant
- add in the prawn and fry till half cooked
-add in the cucumber chicken stock and soy sauce and a tablespoon of water
- cover wok, reduce heat
- when cucumber is half cooked, dish up.
