pei dan chok!
i tried (not very hard, but with very high hopes) to make pei dan chok (century egg porridge) yesterday. i didn't look up the recipe before, but i remember my mom said 'it's very easy, just dump everything in!'.
and so i did. i bought century eggs and minced pork. dumped that into lots of boiling water, and added rice. and oh i also put in half a jalepeno sausage that my sister brought from austin previously. then i looked up the recipe, because it looked strange :(. got depressed looking at the recipe (who looks at it after cooking, shouldn't it be before? i know, i know) because i don't think i did it right.
anyway, what the heck, this was an experimental thing. boiled boiled boiled, went shopping at stanford shopping mall, came back, and it almost all the water had boiled off.
it turned out pretty yummy! didn't look at all like the pei dan chok from back home, but if you put soy sauce, stir it a little, it tasted pretty decent.

Hooray for the yummy outcome! Who cares if it is the real McCoy, as long as it tastes yummy. ;-)
i hate century eggs.

they're okay lah. i find them oily. but don't i find everything oily lah.
hallo no. i made earch buy me more when she came to visit...and she's coming again!!! more sausages! :)
correction - earch BOUGHT 2 sausages, got the nice counter-person to cling-wrap them, put them in my refrigerator, and FORGOT to bring them on the plane the next morning at 5am.
so earch then BOUGHT a freaking 8-dollar sausage at the airport, brought it on the plane, and spent the rest of the time wondering if all the sausage juice spilled all over my bag.
