Salted Vegetables / Giam Cai

Not sure how many of you are fans of "giam cai" aka salted vegetables. I love to eat giam cai especially with bak ku teh. My father and mother love "giam cai" so much that they can literally eat everyday! I always make a big pot of "giam cai" when they were staying with me months ago. 







Ingredient:

1 stalk salted vegetable
1 head garlics - peeled
3 tablespoon sugar
1 red chilli - de-seed and cut into strips 

Methods

1) chopped the salted vegetable and soak in water for 10 mins. Drain the water.
2) Heat up the oil with oil and fry the garlics
3) Add in the salted vegetables and stir fry awhile.
4) Add the sugar and chilli. 
5) Add some hot water and simmer it for 20 mins.


PS:

If you want to keep for next day, pour in some olive oil and keep in containers. It can last for few days. My mum will use the leftover to steam fishes. It taste good too.
