A Mixture Of Taste
I was thinking of a vegetable which I haven't been cooking for a donkey years. Guess what it is? It's cabbage. This used to be my favourite vege as my grandma usually cook this with mushroom & oyster sauce. When I was young, I could eat this dish all by itself without any rice going with it. But today, I wanted to try something different instead of using just oyster sauce alone.
So here's another recipe of mine. :)

Wanted to try this out but procrastinated till today. Adapted this from a magazine but good me, modified the way of cooking & ingredients again as I was too lazy to bring out my steamer. :P
It has a little sweet & sour taste as plum sauce is used to make the gravy.
