This is a fast and really easy dish that my mum frequently cooked. How easy? I learned how to cook it over the phone from my mum, lol. It’s so easy that I wonder if people who cook will laugh at me when they see me posting this recipe? But hey, I am a noob cook, and us the humble noobs don’t take even the easiest dish for granted ;p

Woooo…I like this. A family dish. But what are baby fine beans? I usually use long beans or french beans and cut them to small pieces.

Hi Wiffy, this is one of your many receipes I tried. Yummy!
I innovated a little with smashed fried salted fish (I reduced amount of soya sauce), it turn out great as well. If you are salted fish lover, you might want to give a shot. Thanks again for all your wonderful, easy to understand receipes.
:-)
