VEGETARIAN CHOY KEOK

This is the vegetarian Choy Keok which I have been eating for a few days already.  The special thing with Choy Keok is that it tastes even better after a few days.
It is quite simple to make.  Here is the recipe.


VEGETARIAN CHOY KEOK (serves 5 - 6)

Ingredients

Dried tamarind (assam keping) (about 15 - 20 depending on how sourish you want the dish to be)

Dried chillies (10 to 15)

ginger (1 inch)

Kai choy or mustard cabbage (4 kilogrammes - you can add more if you wish)

Vegetarian mock meat or seafood from soy based products

Tofu

sugar (2 tablespoons)

salt (2 tablespoons)

Method

1. Fry the ginger, chillies and tamarind in a stock pot. Stir until fragrant.

2. Add the vegetarian mock meat/seafood and kai choy (cut into thirds).

3. Add salt and sugar.

4. Pour enough water to cover the ingredients.

5. Bring to the boil and then simmer for an hour and a half or until the kai choy becomes soft.

6. You can eat the choy keok with rice.
