Selesih or ‘yee heong’ is a herb that can be easily obtained in the wet market and can even grow in your garden. It has a strong fragrant smell that I like it very much. I add woodear strips which can be bought in a vegetarian shop. Here adding more ingredients to cook the green peppers will make you eat more rice.
Ingredients:
3 medium-sized green pepper – cut into strips
1 bunch selesih – 50 cts – pluck the leaves only
150 gm streaky pork – cut into strips
20 gm woodear strips – soaked in water to soften it
2 tablespoon minced bean paste
1 red chili, cut into slices
2 tablespoon Canola oil
2 tablespoon Heinz ABC sweet black sauce
1 teaspoon cornflour with water added
Method:
In a wok, add oil and fry the pork for 5 minutes, add the bean paste, stirring well. Add the woodear strips, continue mixing and stirring for 2 min. Add in the green pepper, selesih and chili strips. Keep stirring till well combine. Stir in sweet black sauce and sprinkle a little water if the mixture in the wok is dry. Mix in the cornflour with water to thicken the gravy. Simmer and well blend, then dish out to serve. Goes well with plain hot rice.
