Ah Lui Jay's Turnip and dried squid stew

Many may mistaken that this dish is Ju Hu Char but it is not. There is no shredded mushroom or shredded pork. My Mum make this dish to be wrapped in lettuce and it is really refreshing and tasty and will never feel full. It can be eaten as a snack before the main meal or as a side dish for the main meal to be eaten with rice.  If you like it spicy, you can spread some sambal belachan on the lettuce before putting the stew turnip and dried squid.

  1. I don't think I have tried such a dish before. Or maybe I did but have forgotten? Should be very tasty with the dried squid in the stew.

  2. tigerfish,
    this is very tasty especially when you wrap it in romanian lettuce and dip in sambal belachan. Just talking about it makes me want to make the dish again.
