Carpe Diem - easier said than done for a self-professed procrastinator. But for the love of my life, I finally keyed my first sentence, then the second, and the third... as a recording of memories I'd want to remember, good or bad, a gift from Mommy to U - Dear Baby En

"From Baby En to Baby Kang, both my darlings, equally precious. May this journal keep u company, when Mummy can no longer be there......"

Home-made Mixed Vegetable Fish Beancurd

This is a healthy, delicious and easy-to-make dish for busy mums, which both adults and kids will love (inspired by my 小婶). The amount suggested is good for 1 adult and 1 child to go with porridge. It can be shared among 3 - 4 pax if there are more dishes to go along. Items in * are what I'm using, you're free to experiment with other variants and quantity. Do drop me a note if u love the recipe :).

Ingredients
*Thread fin fillet (approx. 1 x 2.5 x 1.5 inch)
*Broccoli stalk (2 inch)
Carrot (1 inch)
Corn kernel (a handful)
Ginger (THIN slice, depending on how much u like the taste of ginger)
Egg tofu (1 roll)
Oyster Sauce (2-3 tsp)
Sesame Oil (a dash)
*Pickled Lettuce (4 - 5 slices with 2 tsp of sauce, optional for healthier version)

Instruction
1. Put items 1-5 and 7 into blender and mince (add tofu later, otherwise the mixture might be too watery after blending).

2. Add tofu and pickled lettuce to finely minced mixture and blend to the smoothness u desire. Be careful not to overdo it.

3. Scoop final product out and transfer into bowl. Splash a dash of sesame oil on top of mixture.

4. Transfer into steamer and steam for 15 - 20 min.

TedaH! Ready to serve. Just mix with plain porridge and eat.
