I was wondering if you might know how to make the Chinese preserved sour plum from scratch???? I have such a craving for it... <br /><br />ALso craving amra juice with the sum boey (suey boey) in it... sigh...<br /><br />Thankssarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00367064208123295722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-56376702761605294472008-12-02T01:20:00.000-07:002008-12-02T01:20:00.000-07:00Hmmm Lily, I'm a Teochew and lives in Singapore!!!...Hmmm Lily, I'm a Teochew and lives in Singapore!!! <BR/>Love all your awesome recipes!<BR/><BR/>For the steam fish, we add a piece of preserved sour plum. <BR/><BR/>Shiok with sambal belachan n lime juice!!

I got all excited when you posted pomfret in your list of recipes. I love pomfret!!! But where I am now (Belgium), it's just impossible to find this fish. Do you get this fish easily in the States? I thought this fish is only found in the Indian or Pacific Oceans? Lucky you lots for making it possible to plate up a dish of pomfret! Thank you so much, Lily for sharing this with us.

Unfortunately I'm not able to recognize what the "preserved green mustard" and "preserved sour plums" packets look like. Sometimes the name is in chinese characters or its described differently. I don't know which is the correct packet to buy. Could I please trouble you to take a photo of the packets and post them on your website so I can try to look for them next time I am in the supermarket? <BR/><BR/>Secondly, is the "preserved green mustard" you described also used in "kiam chye boey" soup? I understand the recipe for "kiam chye boey" calls for "salted mustard greens" but so far I am only able to find "sour mustard greens" in the supermarket. Are they the same thing? <BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long questions and thank you very much for your help.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>JasmineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-11065429582772893672008-11-26T01:40:00.000-07:002008-11-26T01:40:00.000-07:00ohh..thks! not an easy one to master..been tryin.....ohh..thks! not an easy one to master..been tryin... waiting for u!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-33011012159614752822008-11-25T10:05:00.000-07:002008-11-25T10:05:00.000-07:00Yummy!
