Bitter Gourd with Salted Black Beans

This is the most common way of cooking bitter gourd - The combination of Bitter Gourd with Salted Black Beans and Garlic.  It is also my favourite.

My home cooked Bitter Gourd is simply satisfying...The salted black beans do not overpower the bitterness of the bitter gourd, it is just a nice complement to its bitterness.

Minced beef mushroom capsicum

It does not look nice under the dim light...but the taste is good.

I created this dish with the leftover ingredients from our home baked pizza and bread.  The Capsicum and minced beef were the topping for pizzas, I got to consume them before they turn stale.

Patola vegetable fruit home cooked style

There is a sweetness in patola itself, I simply add some sliced carrots and sauteed with garlic, add some water to bring out the juice from the patula.  Add some salt and light soy sauce to taste.  A juicy dish for the day.

Bayam vegetable balls soup

Bayam / spinach soup can be ready in minutes unlike many other soups that need more times or some up to hours to slow boil.  Since Bayam is the main vegetable here, you could replace vegetable balls with other ingredients like meat balls, fish ball, pork, chicken or beef.

 

 Please watch below slides for the steps to preparing my version of Bayam soup.

Bread making Trial

Making a bread is a long process..buying one from the shop is so much easier.  But making own bread is fun though the waiting time is long.  But I tend to get very disappointed when my bread did not turn out to have the texture you want  it to be.  I am very fussy on the texture...I am still looking for soft and fluffy bread recipe.
