Hokkien ‘Loh’ Bamboo

{by ‘Chef’ Moi}

这道福建卤笋是我家婆的拿手菜之一。还记得刚嫁入郑家时, 我对笋料理只是 mamatey (不太喜欢的意思) 看到全家人吃得津津有味, 我也跟住吃。渐渐的我也爱上这道笋料理了。不论是配饭,粥或炒米粉都很美味。清淡又含多纤维, Cindy & Eugene 也超喜爱呢!

This Hokkien braised bamboo is my mother in law’s signature dish. i remember when i was freshly married into the Tey family, my liking towards bamboo was just mamatey (so-so). Watching the whole family ate with relish, i did the same. Gradually, i start loving it too. Whether it’s with rice, porridge, or noodles; it simply taste delicious. Such is a lightweight and high in fiber meal that Cindy and Eugene loves a lot too!
