I never knew the existence of zucchini (also known as squash or courgette) until I had DD1 (that was about 8 years ago). While googling for some toddler recipes, I came across this interesting ingredient - zucchini, and decided to hunt it down in Singapore. After visiting several supermarkets, I finally found it. When I first cooked this in DD1's porridge, I fell in love with it. From that moment, I've been cooking zucchini often.
To me, I feel that zucchini is a very western food as they are mainly cooked/baked in bread, cakes, casseroles, stuffed recipes, soups etc... I decided to cook zucchini the Chinese way, which is just stir fry.

My Aunt likes to stir fry this sliced, with dried prawns.
Hi ntuc having sale on blueberries $2.50 per packet.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice! I noticed that you didn't take out the seeds, won't the dish be "flooded" later?
ReplyDeleteWendy, not so chinese hor? :P Will try out your auntie's method next time and see which one my kids prefer.
ReplyDeletemuimui, I just bought 4 punnets today, 2 for $4.99.
Meldylocks, the seeds were still intact. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough for it to flood. The zucchini is still crunchy when we bite into it.
Thank you for the inspiration! I was just wondering what to do with my leftover zuchinni... Blogger socialising really is a wonderful free exchange of ideas =)
ReplyDeleteClare, you are right! I'm glad I started blogging and made some cyber friends.
