Bought Thin koay teow packet, choy sum, kin tok kin (pork bean curd rolls) to go with my leftover curry sauce and added my last two black fungus. This something new, something leftover and something to finished off meal.

Google: “Koay teow (flat thin rice noodle) th’ng (soup) is a favourite food in Penang, enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The noodles are usually blanched and topped with parboiled pork or chicken, sliced fish cakes, fish balls, chopped scallions, and crispy fried garlic. Thin koay teow is a type of flat rice noodle, about 1cm or 0.5cm wide, used in dishes like Char Koay Teow: stir-fried or served in soup. “Koay teow” refers to the noodles, while “thin” describes their width. Koay teow is a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially in Malaysia and Singapore.”

Google: “Pork beancurd roll, also known as fu pei guen or bean curd skin roll, is a popular dim sum dish. In my family, we called it kin tok kin. It has a tasty filling made of ground pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, mushrooms, and vegetables wrapped in a thin layer of dried bean curd skin. The rolls can be steamed or fried and are often served with a savory sauce. The “skin” is made by drying the thin layer that forms on soy milk when heated. Enjoyed with a dipping sauce made from oyster sauce, soy sauce, and chicken stock.”

“Curry is a dish defined by spices and a sauce, originating from the Indian subcontinent. It includes a variety of flavours and cooking styles that reflect regional cultures. Generally, “curry” in the West refers to dishes with a spiced sauce that originated in India and have spread worldwide. They can include different proteins like meat, poultry, seafood, or vegetables, and are typically cooked with onions, garlic, ginger, and spices. The spice blends, known as masalas, vary by region and dish, with some curries being spicy and others mild and creamy.”

“Black fungus, also called wood ear fungus or cloud ear fungus, is an edible mushroom commonly used in Asian cooking and traditional medicine. It has many health benefits because it is high in fiber, iron, and antioxidants. Black fungus supports digestive health and overall well-being by providing dietary fiber and polysaccharides. Its antioxidants help protect the body from cell damage and inflammation. Black fungus may lower cholesterol and improve blood circulation, and it can also protect the liver from harmful substances like pain relievers. However, due to its high oxalate content, eating too much may increase the risk of kidney stones, so it should be consumed in moderation.”
