Buncis Bumbu Taoco (Stir Fried Haricot Beans with Soybean Paste) - My Just in time Idea

I was doing a quick shopping on a very cold day while my husband and kids waiting in our car. Having no idea of what to cook, I just grabbed some wonton and haricot beans and some others. It was really really quick, no more than 15minutes shopping, including the checking out at the cashier. I had never thought of combining the two before, not until I got home that day and needed to prepare something quick and easy. I looked up in the fridge and found some soybean paste...hmm...why not combining the three of them. So here is the quick and easy recipe, oh yeah..btw, my Bianca loves it!

Ingredients:
- bunch of haricot beans, cut into 6cm in length
- 10 wonton (I chose pork and chinese mushroom ones), boiled
- 4Tbsp of soybean paste
- 6cloves of garlic, chopped thinly
- 2Tbsp of dried small shrimp (Indonesian-ebi), soaked in water and drained
- sesame oil for sauteeing
- water

Directions:
In a wok, saute garlic with sesame oil, then add presoaked dried shrimp and stir. Add soybean paste and continue to cook for another minute. Add haricot beans and stir well until changed color. Add some water as desired. Add the boiled wonton and stir it well. Remove it from stove. Serve with steamed rice and other dish.

Burger Anyone?

After chit-chatting with Melanie the other day about what she's been doing these days, I felt like having burger to my comfort. To be honest, I wanted the ones from Harvey's, however somehow I'd never stopped by at any of its stall...either not having enough time nor never passing by nor forgetting when passing by...
Therefore the other day I just prepared it myself...4days in a row I ate these beef burgers in the morning...I think I am lengthening my waist line!
I do not think you need the recipe this time..so I'm just gonna share the pictures..let your creativity's gone wild with every thing you may like to add for your own burger! Cheers...

Ingredients:
- 2 cans of luncheon meat, cut the meat into small cubes
- 5 cloves of garlic, chop thinly
- 5 cloves of small red onion, chop thinly
- 10 bird's eye chili or chili paddy, chop thinly
- 4cm of galangal
- 4 lime leaves
- 1/2 of lime
- 2Tbsp of fish sauce
- sugar
- oil for saute



In a wok, saute garlic, onion and chili until fragrant. Add galangal, lime leaves, fish sauce and drizzle lime juice. Stir it well. Add a little bit of sugar to taste. Lastly, add the luncheon meat, cook and stir for 6minutes. Serve it with warm steam rice.
