Homemade Salted Salmon And Vegetables Stir Fry

Salted salmon and green beans

Salted fish is one of the best food, one of my top favourites. I know, some of you would say this is bad for health. I’ll tell you why I think it is not. It’s all about quality, just how it is made and also how much you eat it. I would not buy salted fish because of the way it is made. I make it myself if I want to eat. It’s just so easy. And when I eat salted fish, I don’t eat a lot. If I use it for cooking, I don’t add in any more salt.

Easy To Make Salad - For Health And Weight Lose

Salad with salmon

I love to eat vegetables but not too keen on salads. I mean I would still eat but not everyday. I love my quick stir fried vegetables. That’s because I was brought up that way. Almost all the salad that I had tried comes with a creamy dressing. It’s delicious but I won’t eat it everyday. Well everything changed ever since I made the Thai Beef Salad. I have been eating salad EVERYDAY!  But don’t get me wrong. I still eat some cooked vegetables.

Tender Stem Broccoli With Feta Cheese Stir Fry

Tender stem broccoli and feta cheese stir fry

This is another scheduled post while I am away. Thanks very much for visiting and also your lovely comment. Happy reading and cooking. Hope you have a wonderful day everyday.

Cheese is not something that I use very often in cooking and baking. It’s mainly because I did not grow up on dairy food. Besides, dairy food like cheese is very expensive back home in Malaysia. So imagine the shock when I came here to Scotland and find big shelves of milk , cheese, butter and cream in all sizes in the supermarkets. It just blew my mind! I have tried quite a number of them but not all yet. Still learning!

Ribbon Carrot Stir Fry

Ribbon carrots stir fry

Carrots is one of my top favourite vegetables. It’s such a delicious and healthy vegetable. I eat it very often, either in freshly made carrot juice with apples or in stir fry and soups.

Carrots are sweet and high in vitamins and minerals and they make great juices. My best is still carrot and apple juice. Carrot juice is widely used in natural healing for diseases like cancer. My whole family has benefitted greatly from it. You can read more about it by clicking on the links below.

Healthy Sweet Potato Carrot Soup

Sweet potato carrot soup

My family loves thick vegetable soup. It is very easy to cook and very healthy. As I love sweet potatoes, one of my top favourite vegetable soups is sweet potato and carrot soup. It has a lovely natural sweetness of its own and goes great with some crusty bread. This time when I cooked this soup, I made fried garlic tortilla pieces to go with it. It is very delicious. I’ll share that in another post.

The hand stick blender that I bought recently is not only very easy for making smoothies but also very easy for making this type of thick soup. If you like smoothies, click How To Make A Delicious Low Fat Healthy Smoothie.

Jungle Fern (Midin) Stir Fry

Midin stir fry

Excited to share a wonderful wild jungle vegetable. It’s a fern and locally known as ’midin, milin or bilin‘. This special wild jungle fern stir fry is one of the only 2 dishes that I cooked during my recent holiday back to Malaysia. The other dish was Bitter Gourd And Egg Stir Fry. These are just a couple of my favourite local vegetables. Midin stir fry is one dish that everyone who visits Sarawak must try. It has a crispy texture and tastes very good.

Fresh midin

Midin is very popular in Sarawak. It is a common dish in restaurants. It’s a creepy plant and grows wild in the forest. It’s regarded as a delicious and nutritious wild vegetable. Apparently this particular fern only grows on the island of Borneo. I’m interested to know where else they grow. The natives would pluck the top section of the fern and sell them at the local jungle produce market. I heard that these days people plant them for sale.

Bitter Gourd And Egg Stir Fry

Bitter gourd and egg stir fry

Here’s another post about my holiday back in Malaysia. In my short trip back home, I only cooked 2 dishes. My sweet mother-in-law cooked almost the whole time. We actually ate out most of the time until I fell ill with high fever. Sadly my enjoyable food adventure ended there. By the time I recovered I had to leave.

The best of all are all the local fruits as I shared in my previous post, Best Local Fruits Of Malaysia. Next on the list are the local vegetables. There are a few that I really like and we ate a lot. They are the ’sweet vegetables’, ‘kangkong’ which is also commonly known as ‘water spinach’ and the local fern. On top of that I also like bitter gourd, a bitter vegetable, which is difficult to get here. It is also known as bitter melon.

Laksa Salmon With Asparagus Stir Fry

Laksa salmon asparagus stir fry

Salmon is a very delicious fish and comes with many health benefits, especially for its high omega-3. Wild Alaskan salmon is the best but much more expensive. I love to cook salmon because it is easy to cook and tastes very delicious. Just recently I have come to like smoked salmon.

This salmon stir fry with asparagus is very simple and easy. The laksa paste adds beautiful flavour and taste to it. The laksa paste that I used here is the same one that I used in Malaysian Curry Fish Laksa. Here is my recipe:
