Oh! I didn’t read the recipe :P Didn’t know there’s oyster sauce there. I just fry the red bean curd with ginger for a bit and then put the chinese cabbage in, followed by the rest of the veggies and what not. Baby corn goes well in there too. Do not eat immediately. The longer it sits in the fridge the better it tastes.
@baconmash good tips thanks - will grab ingredients this week and give it a try… I am not a ginger fan at all… if I reduce the quantity of ginger a bit can you suggest anything to fill in the flavour gap?
You could just leave it out. I also add some brown sugar to it but you don’t have to. It’s mostly just fry the red bean curd and put in any veggies you like.
shiitake, chinese cabbage, vermicellii, red bean curd, and really just any vegetables capable of soaking up juice, for this: https://en.christinesrecipes.com/2010/02/braised-vegetables-with-red-fermented.html
@baconmash @just_kitten I’ll substitute vegetarian oyster sauce and give that a try

@baconmash thanks - I might try brown sugar and a spot of fresh black pepper
Ooh thanks for that rec. The place I’m staying at has plenty of East Asian ingredients and condiments so braising might be very much on the menu.
