Stir Fried Ladies' Fingers With Sambal Belacan
To counter yesterday's bak (meat), here's a lazy people's version of stir fry vegetable. Grab a bottle of prepared sambal belacan paste from the market or super/hypermarket or in my case, my aunty made some for us. Sliced ladies' fingers or okra and red onions, set aside. I've also sliced a couple of kaffir lime (limau purut) leaves into very very thin strips. In a hot wok, pour in some oil and chuck in onions and kaffir lime leaves. Stir and add in the sambal belacan paste. Keep frying until fragrant. Dunk in ladies' fingers and mix in quickly. Give them a bit more stirring before dishing up. Fast, easy and simple vegetable dish in minutes - best for lazy people like myself!

kampungboycitygal & pea, actually this plate was done without blanching the ladies' fingers first. all i did was cook in high heat and quickly dish up. the other method like pea described was to blanched quickly in boiling water. must not cook to long else it became gluey.
